To make these vareniki, you'll need ready-made pizza dough and processed cheese for the filling. Cut the dough into squares and wrap a piece of cheese in each square, forming envelopes. Then, give them your favorite flavor and color of salted straws or pretzels. To do this, boil the vareniki in a boiling soda solution for a few seconds, then transfer them to a baking sheet, sprinkle with coarse salt, and bake in a preheated oven for 10 minutes. The vareniki will acquire the same flavor, color, and aroma of pretzels, and the melted cheese filling will be a pleasant bonus.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Spray the baking sheet with cooking spray.
  2. Press and stretch the dough into a 27 x 40 cm rectangle. Cut the rectangle into twenty-four 6 cm squares.

  3. Place a piece of cheese in the center of each square. Pinch two opposite corners of the dough together over the cheese. Do the same with the other two corners to form a packet. Pinch the folded sides together to secure the cheese inside. Repeat with the remaining dough and cheese.
  4. In a medium saucepan, heat 6 cups of water over high heat. Stir in the baking soda and bring to a boil. Working in batches, cook the packets for 30 seconds. Transfer them seam-side up to the prepared baking sheet and immediately sprinkle with salt.
  5. Bake the vareniki, rotating the baking sheet halfway through, until dark brown, about 10 minutes. Serve with hot mustard.
