GIANT CHEESE-STUFFED PRETZEL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.

Lay the cheese down the length of the plank so all the dough it covered. Sprinkle a line of jalapenos down the center of the cheese. Fold the dough in half lengthwise and pinch the edges together to secure the filling. Roll and stretch the dough with your hands to make a 5-foot rope.
