Pretzels no longer just come in knot shapes as food blogger the Vulgar Chef points out with blogger Yammie's cheddar bacon stuffed pretzel recipe. This delicious take on the traditional pretzel recipe kicks things up by stuffing the salty dough with gooey cheese and bacon bits.
If you love pretzels chances are you'll love the soft and chewy taste of pretzel buns. Yammie's makes these delicious stuffed pretzels by altering the traditional pretzel recipe to accommodate a bread ball shape. The dough is then stuffed with grated cheddar cheese, bacon bits, garlic, paprika and chopped herbs. The end result is a savory treat with the soft texture of bread, crunchy exterior of a salty pretzel filled to the brim with melted cheese and bacon.
