Pretzel Spirals

• Hands-On Time: 25 minutes
  Total Time: 40 minutes
  Makes 6 pretzels
• 1 1-pound bag refrigerated pizza dough
• 6 teaspoons olive oil
• 6 tablespoons grated Asiago cheese (or Parmesan)

Heat oven to 400° F. Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. On a cutting board, using your hands, roll each portion into a long rope about 30 inches long. Brush each rope with 1 teaspoon of oil and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of cheese and turn to coat. Working with 1 rope at a time, transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Starting at one end, roll it tightly around itself to form a coil, then pinch the end to seal. Repeat with the remaining dough. Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
