Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your smoker to 225°F. Rub the brisket with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Smoke for 6–8 hours until fork-tender, then shred.
  2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine cheddar, Monterey Jack, beer, sour cream, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir continuously for 5–10 minutes until smooth and creamy.
  3. Roll out pizza dough on a floured surface to create 4-inch circles. Place a spoonful of cheese filling and brisket in the center. Fold the dough over and pinch edges to seal.
  4. Preheat your oven to 375°F and arrange pretzel bombs on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush tops with a beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse salt. Bake for 15–20 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Allow pretzel bombs to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with your favorite dipping sauces.
