Ingredients

  • 1 Pizza dough fresh not frozen or from a can
  • 12 Smithfield Spiral Sliced Smoked Ham with Signature Glaze cubed
  • 12 ounces American cheese cubed
  • 1 cup Baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon Kosher Salt
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tablespoon Water

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
  • While you wait for the water to boil roll dough into one inch balls (you can use a little flour on your hands if it is too sticky).
  • Flatten the balls and add one cube of Smithfield Spiral Sliced Smoked Ham with Signature Glaze and one cube of American cheese to each ball.
  • Press the ham and cheese gently into the dough while pulling the dough up and around the ham and cheese pinching the ends tightly closed to seal it.
  • Add the baking soda to the boiling water (go slowly it will bubble up!) and stir until it is dissolved.
  • Add the pretzel balls to the boiling water 4 or 5 at a time, letting them boil for 20-30 seconds before removing with a slotted spoon and setting on a baking sheet.
  • Once all of the pretzel bombs have been boiled mix together the egg and water to make an egg wash and brush the wash over each of the balls. Sprinkle with salt and then place them in the oven to bake for 15-20 minutes or until dark golden brown.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!
