These Italian Sausage Stuffed Pretzel Buns are kinda like a big, soft, salty-ish, pizza-y, cheesy pretzel pillow with stringy mozzarella, spinach and sausage. They don’t mind being dipped in marinara, but they’re absolutely divine just the way they are.
You need some warm comfort food for your Sunday…don’t you.
Yes, of course you do.
You’re going to want to put aside a little time and make these – they’re so worth it.
Remember a few days ago when I told you about the perfect pretzel dough recipe?
I’ve made another recipe using it.
This is very much like a version of my lasagna stuffed into a big fat pretzel.
Sans tomato sauce and ricotta.
Italian sausage, spinach and mozzarella cheese stuffed into a pretzel bun.
They’re pretty intense.
My opinion is that if you do opt for dunking it, try a good Puttanesca sauce.
They’re soooo good either way.
I’m addicted to the pretzel alone.

Italian Sausage Stuffed Pretzel Buns
Ingredients
- Pretzel Dough from Oh Sweet Basil
- 1/2 lb Italian sausage, browned and crumbled
- 6 oz. spinach, chopped
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- Water, for boiling
- 2/3 cup baking soda
- 2 eggs, whisked
- Sea salt
Instructions
- Make pretzel dough and let it rise.
- Combine the sausage, spinach and cheese in a mixing bowl; refrigerate until ready to use.
- Preheat oven to 450.
- Divide dough into 8 pieces and smooth them into flat circular discs using your hands.
- Put a heaping tablespoon of sausage mixture into the center of each disc, then fold the pretzel dough around it to make a ball.
- Add the baking soda to a large stock pot of water and bring to a boil.
Very gently add the pretzel buns to the boiling water, just a few at a time, and boil for 30 seconds. - Remove using a slotted spoon to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with salt.
- Bake for about 10 minutes, until golden brown.
