Ingredients

Units Scale
  • For the dough:
    • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 tsp salt
    • 1 tbsp sugar
    • 1 packet active dry yeast
    • 1 cup warm water
    • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
    • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
    • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
    • 1 egg (for egg wash)
    • Coarse salt (for topping)
  • For boiling:
    • 10 cups water
    • 1/4 cup baking soda

Instructions

  • Prepare the dough:
    In a large bowl, mix the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
    Add the flour, salt, and melted butter to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
    Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise:
    Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
  • Shape the pretzels:
    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
    Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8 equal portions.
    Roll each portion into a 12-inch rope. Place a small amount of shredded mozzarella cheese along the center of each rope. Fold the dough over the cheese and pinch to seal.
    Shape the dough into a pretzel shape.
  • Boil the pretzels:
    In a large pot, bring 10 cups of water to a boil. Add the baking soda.
    Carefully lower the pretzels into the boiling water, cooking for 1–2 minutes per side.
    Remove the pretzels with a slotted spoon and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Add toppings:
    Brush each pretzel with an egg wash made from 1 beaten egg.
    Sprinkle with chopped rosemary, grated Parmesan cheese, and coarse salt.
  • Bake:
    Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Serve:
    Allow the pretzels to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the melty mozzarella center and flavorful toppings!

Notes

  • Dough Rise: Make sure to allow enough time for the dough to rise so the pretzels are light and fluffy.
  • Cheese: You can use different cheeses for the filling (e.g., cheddar) if desired.
  • Storage: Store any leftover pretzels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or freeze for longer storage.
