Buffalo sauce, biscuits, pretzels, and cheese create a savory, satisfying bar that's great for gatherings.
# Components:
→ Biscuit Base
01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1 tablespoon baking powder
03 - 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
04 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
05 - 2/3 cup cold buttermilk
06 - 1 large egg
→ Buffalo Layer
07 - 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
08 - 1/2 cup Buffalo hot sauce
09 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
→ Toppings
10 - 1 1/2 cups mini pretzels, roughly crushed
11 - 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
12 - 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
13 - 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional)
14 - 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
# Directions:
01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing extra overhang for easy removal.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or fingertips until mixture forms coarse crumbs.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk cold buttermilk and egg. Pour mixture into dry ingredients and gently stir until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
04 - Evenly press the dough into the prepared pan to create a uniform layer.
05 - Whisk melted butter, Buffalo hot sauce, and garlic powder in a bowl. Spread evenly over biscuit layer.
06 - Sprinkle crushed pretzels evenly across the Buffalo-coated biscuit base. Top with mozzarella and cheddar cheeses. Optionally, garnish with green onions and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
07 - Transfer pan to oven and bake for 22 to 25 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and edges are golden.
08 - Remove pan from oven and let bars cool for 10 minutes. Use parchment overhang to lift bars onto a cutting board, slice, and serve warm.
