Disney Pretzel Copycat Recipe

 

Ingredients:
Store-bought pizza dough (room temperature)
Sea salt flakes
2 egg whites, whisked
Flour

Store-bought cheese dip or mustard

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  2. Use a non-stick cookie sheet.
  3. Allow the store-bought pizza dough to reach room temperature.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, cut the dough into 4 pieces to make 4 pretzels.
  5. Working on 1 pretzel at a time, separate the dough into 3 balls, one ball larger than the other two.
  6. Roll out the largest piece for the head and the smaller pieces for the ears. Tip: Don’t over-flour the dough; keep it sticky.
  7. Create 3 circles with the dough. The large circle will be Mickey’s head, and the two smaller circles will be his ears.
  8. Make sure the small circles are attached to the large circle. The dough should be sticky enough so his ears are attached to create one fun pretzel!
  9. Brush the pretzel with the egg whites and lightly sprinkle with sea salt flakes.
  10. Bake 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Serve with a cheesy dip or mustard!

INGREDIENTS

1 egg
1 3/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons water
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

8 slices egg bread (challah works well), sliced 1/2-inch thick

Starbucks Lemon Cake Pop Copycat Recipe

INGREDIENTS:
  • Betty Crocker White Cake Mix, and the supplies listed on the back of the box. 
  • lemon cream cheese buttercream recipe: cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and lemon and vanilla extracts.
  • yellow Wilton Candy Melts
  • sugar sprinkles

 

HOW TO:

 

  1. Make your white cake according to package directions. For Betty Crocker mixes, that means 3 egg whites, 1 1/4 C water, and 1/3 C oil with the mix, baked at 350 for 29-34 minutes.
  2. Once you’ve baked your cake, let it cool completely. 
  3. Start your lemon cream cheese buttercream. You’ll want 1 block of room-temperature cream cheese (8 oz), 2 sticks of butter (1 cup), 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla, and 2 teaspoons of lemon extract. 
  4. Cream this together until it’s nice and fluffy, very well whipped.
  5. Slowly beat in 3 1/2 cups of powdered sugar, whipping it with a mixer until it’s perfectly creamy. 
  6. When the cake is fully cooled, crumble it to bits. Then, add in a couple of spoonfuls of the frosting. Stir and smush until it’s fully combined, then continue squishing until it combines into a thick dough, adding slightly more frosting if needed.
  7. When the dough is ready, chill it for about 15-30 minutes before rolling it into balls, then once you’ve rolled all of the dough into quarter-sized balls, go ahead and pop those in the freezer for about 30 minutes.
  8. Melt your yellow Wilton Candy Melts. Double boiler or microwave is fine.
  9. Dip your chilled cake balls in the melted white chocolate, coating it, then removing it. If you’re making cake pops, your technique will be slightly different from mine using a fork. Place the dipped balls on parchment or waxed paper, then sprinkle with the sprinkles before the chocolate hardens.
