"trying for the way the deli/bakery used to make them, not all cheeped out on toppings like they are now"

 

• Ready In: 25mins
• Ingredients: 5
• Yields: 10 pretzels
• Serves: 10

ingredients

• 2 (10 ounce) cans pizza dough (pillsbury or homemade, or whatever you like, enough for 2 crusts)
• 1 cup tomato sauce
• 1⁄2 cup onion, minced finely
• 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
• 1 1⁄2 - 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded

directions

1. stretch the dough into a 10"x16" rectangle and cut into 10 1" strips.
2. twist into pretzel shapes, place well apart on a greased cookie sheet.
3. top with tomato sauce, cheese, onion, then poppy seeds.
4. let rise a little depending on how fluffy you like them.
5. bake at 350f for 10-15 min or until bread is barely cooked but toppings are all still soft. the ones i'm used to are always a little undercooked and they're best that way.
