Servings 8 slices
Ingredients
- 2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1½ cups warm water
- 4 cups flour
- ¼ cup baking soda
- 2 cups warm water
- Kosher salt
- 1 cup cheddar cheese sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 8 extra large or 20 regular size pepperoni
- 1/8 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- Oregano

Instructions
- Dissolve yeast, sugar and salt in 1½ cups warm water.

- Place dough in a well oiled bowl and turn to coat.
- Cover and let rise for one hour.
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Dissolve baking soda in 2 cups warm water.
- Dump the whole ball of dough onto a lightly floured surface. Then, gather up the whole ball of dough and dunk it in the warm water/baking soda mixture. This is what will give the dough that “pretzel” flavor.
- Spread the dough out into a large circle. Brush with additional water/baking soda mixture and sprinkle with kosher salt (or pretzel salt).
- Bake for 6-8 minutes until golden brown.
- Spread cheese sauce over the crust within about 1 inch to 1 1/2 inches of the edge.
- Top with shredded cheddar cheese, pepperoni, shredded parmesan and oregano.
- Bake for an additional 3-5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
- Brush edges with melted butter and sprinkle with kosher salt.
