INGREDIENTS
2 ½ 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
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 egg (for egg wash)
Coarse salt (for topping)
10 cups water (for boiling)
¼ cup baking soda
INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5
minutes until frothy. Add flour, salt, and melted butter, then mix until a dough forms. Knead for
5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Let 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 dough and divide it
into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a 12-inch rope. Place a small amount of shredded
mozzarella in the center of each rope and fold the dough over to enclose the cheese. Shape
each piece into a pretzel.
Boil the Pretzels: In a large pot, bring 10 cups of water to a boil and add the baking soda.
Carefully drop the pretzels into the boiling water and cook for 1-2 minutes per side. Remove
and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Add Toppings: Brush each pretzel with a beaten egg and sprinkle with chopped rosemary,
Parmesan, and coarse salt.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve: Let the pretzels cool slightly before serving and enjoy the gooey mozzarella center!
NOTES
i Ensure the water for the yeast mixture is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast.
i For a more intense flavor, sprinkle more fresh rosemary on top before baking.
i These pretzels are best served warm!
