Ingredients
- • Ground beef: 1 pound
- • Ground pork: 1/2 pound
- • Bacon strips: 12
- • Onion, finely chopped: 1 small
- • Garlic cloves, minced: 3
- • Breadcrumbs: 1/2 cup
- • Egg: 1
- • Worcestershire sauce: 2 tablespoons
- • Salt: 1 teaspoon
- • Black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
- • All-purpose flour: 4 cups
- • Instant yeast: 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons)
- • Warm water (110°F/45°C): 1 1/2 cups
- • Brown sugar: 1 tablespoon
- • Baking soda: 1/2 cup
- • Butter, melted: 2 tablespoons
- • Coarse sea salt: 1 tablespoon
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2 In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
- 3 Divide the meat mixture into 6 equal portions and shape each into a small loaf. Wrap each loaf with two strips of bacon, securing the ends with toothpicks.
- 4 In a large bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, and brown sugar. Gradually add the warm water, mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes.
- 5 Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a circle large enough to wrap around the meatloaf. Place one meatloaf in the center of each dough circle, then fold the dough around it, pinching the seams to seal.
- 6 Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the baking soda. Gently place each dough-wrapped meatloaf into the boiling water for 30 seconds, then remove with a slotted spoon and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- 7 Brush the top of each roll with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse sea salt. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the meatloaf is cooked through.
- 8 Allow to cool slightly before serving. Remove toothpicks before enjoying.
Serving Suggestions
- • These Bacon-Wrapped Meatloaf-Stuffed Pretzel Rolls are perfect on their own, but you can elevate the experience by serving them with a side of tangy mustard or a spicy cheese sauce for dipping. A crisp green salad with a zesty vinaigrette can provide a refreshing contrast to the richness of the rolls. For a beverage pairing, consider a cold lager or a malty amber ale to complement the savory flavors of the meatloaf and bacon. A glass of iced tea with a hint of lemon can also offer a refreshing balance.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover pretzel rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and warm the rolls on a baking sheet for about 10 minutes, or until heated through. Avoid microwaving, as it may make the pretzel dough soggy.
