Servings:

Ingredients

• 1 lb smoked brisket, shredded
• 1 cup beer cheese
• 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
• 1/4 cup baking soda
• 2 cups warm water
• Sea salt
• Ingredient Notes & Swaps:
• Smoked Brisket: Use leftover brisket or deli-style if you’re short on time.
• Beer Cheese: Make your own or use store-bought—just make sure it’s thick enough to scoop.
• Biscuit Dough: Crescent roll dough or pizza dough can be subbed if needed.
• Sea Salt: Coarse sea salt or pretzel salt works best for topping.
• Instructions:
• Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Mix the filling: In a bowl, combine the shredded brisket and beer cheese until evenly mixed.
• Prep the dough: Roll out biscuit dough on a floured surface and cut into squares large enough to hold 1 tablespoon of filling.
• Fill and seal: Place a spoonful of brisket and cheese in the center of each square. Fold up the edges and pinch tightly to seal into a ball.
• Pretzel bath: In a separate bowl, dissolve baking soda in warm water. Dip each dough ball into the solution for a few seconds.
• Top and bake: Place dipped balls on the baking sheet and sprinkle with sea salt. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Serve hot, with extra beer cheese or mustard on the side if desired.
• Tips for Success:
• Seal well: Pinch the seams tightly so the filling doesn’t leak.
• Don’t skip the baking soda dip: This step gives the bombs their classic pretzel finish.
• Use cold filling: If your cheese and brisket are chilled, they’ll be easier to wrap in the dough.
• Want a crispy top? Brush with a little butter right before serving.
• Serving Suggestions & Pairings:
• Dip them into Beer Cheese Dip for double the indulgence.
• Serve with Crockpot Nacho Dip for creamy contrast.
• Add a side of Sheet Pan Quesadillas for a variety of melty textures.
• Bring out the Totchos for ultimate crispy-meets-gooey satisfaction.
• Go full-on comfort mode with Dorito Casserole.
• Storage & Leftovers:
• Fridge: Store cooled pretzel bombs in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Reheat: Bake at 350°F for 8–10 minutes or air fry to restore crispness.
• Freeze: Freeze before baking for a make-ahead option—just bake from frozen, adding 5–7 extra minutes.
