Something about being in quarantine is causing people to channel their inner bakers—and we’re here for it! Everyone’s becoming obsessed with sourdough and some are even taking focaccia to new artistic heights.
But what about soft pretzels? Disney is on it with just one more amazing recipe to add to your repertoire. And this one is shaped like one of the world’s most recognized characters—yep, Mickey Mouse pretzels!
Thank You, Disney Fan Club!
The recipe for Mickey pretzels and cheesy dip comes courtesy of D23, the official Disney fan club. No yeast? No problem. This recipe uses pizza dough to streamline the process. The fan club is a treasure trove of cooking and entertaining ideas, too. There are all kinds of fun Disney food ideas, including quesadillas shaped like mouse ears and Mickey’s white gloves, as well as a fizzy, fruity punch.
If you want to up your Mickey pretzel game, Inside the Magic has a more detailed recipe. Now we’re talking!
Recreate the Disney Magic at Home
Disney has been especially generous with its recipes lately. We’ve been given the secret to making Walt Disney’s favorite chili, Dole whip and even Disney’s churros.
If you’re really missing Disney parks this year, whip up some other beloved park foods like turkey legs, Mickey Mouse waffles and Monte Cristo sandwiches. We know it’s not the same as being there, but it’s a little something.
And don’t forget, Walt Disney World shared its “Happily Ever After” fireworks show straight from Magic Kingdom. Cue it up from your couch and pass the Mickey pretzels!
