Print Recipe

Delicious homemade pretzels infused with rosemary and stuffed with melted mozzarella cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water (about 110°F)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup baking soda
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • Coarse sea salt (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Combine warm water, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Sprinkle yeast on top and let sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. Add flour, Parmesan cheese, and rosemary to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms and knead for 5 minutes until smooth.
  3. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for about 60 minutes until doubled in size.
  4. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
  5. Turn the dough onto a floured surface, divide into 8 equal pieces, and shape each piece into a pretzel.
  6. Boil 10 cups of water and add baking soda. Boil each pretzel for 30 seconds, then remove and place on a baking sheet.
  7. Brush each pretzel with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Once cooled slightly, cut a small slit on top and stuff each pretzel with mozzarella cheese. Serve warm.

Notes

Serve with mustard dip or marinara sauce. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
