Bavarian Pretzel-Crust Pizza Recipe Brings Oktoberfest Home

The recipe swaps classic dough for shaped Laugenstangen to capture the pretzel flavor.

Overview

  • Frankfurter Rundschau’s Einfach Tasty published the recipe on September 20, 2025, with a step-by-step video for home cooks.
  • The crust is built from thawed Laugenstangen that are rolled out, edged with a pretzel-style strand, and sprinkled with coarse Hagelsalz.
  • A Schmand base is topped with Bergkäse and diced ham to highlight familiar Bavarian flavors.
  • Suggested variations include smoked salmon or vegetables such as peppers and mushrooms, with Emmentaler or Obazda as cheese alternatives.
  • Serving guidance positions it for an Oktoberfest buffet or a simple dinner at home, with tips to fully thaw the rolls, use baking paper, preheat the oven, and optionally brush the rim with egg yolk.
