Soft Parmesan Pretzels

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 425°F. Line two 15 x 10-inch baking pans with parchment paper.
2. Unroll pizza crust on a lightly floured surface. Cut dough widthwise into 12 strips, each about 1-inch wide. Carefully stretch each strip into a 24-inch rope. Form each rope into a U shape. Overlap ends, twisting once. Fold ends down; press ends tightly onto the bottom of U to secure pretzel shape.
3. Bring water and baking soda to a boil in a Dutch oven over high heat, stirring occasionally. Drop pretzels, two at a time, into the boiling water. Boil for 30 seconds, submerging pretzels in boiling water. Remove with a slotted spatula; drain on paper towels.
4. Transfer to prepared pans; brush with egg wash. Bake for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, combine parmesan and garlic powder in a small bowl. Sprinkle each pretzel with about 1 tablespoon parmesan mixture. Bake for 2-3 minutes longer or until pretzels are golden brown.
5. Serve warm with Warm Beer-Cheese Dip or mustard.
