Description
Warm, soft pretzel dough encasing gooey mozzarella and fragrant rosemary, perfect for snacks or gatherings.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups warm water
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1/4 cup baking soda
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (chopped)
- Coarse sea salt (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Combine warm water, sugar, and yeast in a bowl. Let it sit until frothy (about 5 minutes).
- Mix flour and salt in a large bowl. Add the yeast mixture and mix until a dough forms.
- Knead until smooth and elastic (about 5-7 minutes).
- Let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Punch down the risen dough and divide it into small pieces. Flatten each piece and place mozzarella, parmesan, and rosemary inside. Wrap the dough around the filling to seal.
- Bring water to a boil in a large pot and stir in baking soda.
- Boil each pretzel for 30 seconds on each side, then remove and place on the baking sheet.
- Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
Notes
For best results, evenly space the pretzels on the baking sheet, and adjust baking times as needed.
