Large Pretzel Pie with Cheese and Peppers

Ingredients:

• 2 packages of 400g chilled pizza dough
• 12 slices of cheese
• 12 pickled jalapeño peppers, sliced
• 1 tbsp. baking soda
• 2 tbsp (30 g) butter, melted
• Pretzel salt, or other coarse salt, for topping

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
2. Unfold two pieces of pizza dough and stack them on top of each other. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a 90 x 12 cm (36 x 5.5 in) sheet. Arrange slices of cheese along the length of the dough, ensuring it's completely covered. Sprinkle jalapeño over the cheese in the center. Fold the dough in half lengthwise and pinch the edges together to seal the filling. Roll and stretch the dough with your hands to form a 150 cm (50 in) long rope.
3. Form the rope into a giant pretzel and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the dough is almost completely cooked through and golden brown, about 30 minutes.
4. Dissolve baking soda in 0.5 cups of hot water. Brush the pretzel with the solution and continue baking until dark golden brown and crispy, about 10 more minutes. Brush the pretzel with butter and sprinkle with salt. Let cool for 5 minutes, then serve warm.
