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’re going to want to put aside a little time and make these – they’re so worth it.

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.
