Ingredients

• 1 pinch kosher salt
• ⅓ cup baking soda
• 1 (13.8 ounce) package refrigerated pizza dough
• 12 links smoked bratwurst

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line with foil.

Step 2

Stir together water and baking soda in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil.

Step 3

Meanwhile, turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll into a 10x12-inch rectangle. Cut dough into twelve 1-inch strips. Wrap each strip tightly around a bratwurst in a spiral, pinching edges to seal and leaving about 1/2 inch of bratwurst peeking out of each end.

Step 4

Add 3 wrapped bratwurst at a time to the boiling water. Boil for about 30 seconds. Transfer bratwurst to the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt. Repeat with remaining wrapped bratwurst.

Step 5

Bake bratwursts until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Cut each bratwurst crosswise into thirds. Serve with mustard.
