Description
These Mozzarella Stuffed Soft Pretzels are a delightful mix of gooey cheese and savory dough, creating an irresistible snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 packet Active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
- 1 cup Warm water
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 8 ounces Fresh mozzarella (cut into small cubes)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh rosemary
- 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 cups Water
- 1/4 cup Baking soda
- Grated Parmesan cheese (for topping)
- Fresh rosemary leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
- Add flour and salt to the yeast mixture. Knead the dough until it’s smooth and elastic, taking about 8-10 minutes.
- Cover the bowl and let the dough rise for 30-45 minutes until doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix together mozzarella cubes, chopped rosemary, and grated Parmesan cheese.
- Once the dough has risen, divide it into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a long rope, about 12-14 inches long.
- Flatten each rope slightly and spoon the mozzarella and rosemary filling into the center. Fold the dough over and seal the edges.
- In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to near boiling. Remove from heat and stir in the baking soda.
- Carefully lower each pretzel into the boiling water bath for 30 seconds.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove each pretzel and place them on the lined baking sheet.
- Generously sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over each pretzel and add a few fresh rosemary leaves.
- Place the pretzels in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they’re golden brown.
- Allow the pretzels to cool slightly before serving.
