Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) instant yeast
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water (about 110°F)
  • 1/4 cup baking soda
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (chopped)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 8 ounces mozzarella cheese (cut into cubes)
  • Coarse sea salt (for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, instant yeast, and sugar; let it sit for about five minutes until foamy.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the yeast mixture and stir until combined.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface or using a stand mixer for about 5-8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Fold in chopped rosemary and grated Parmesan cheese until well incorporated. Let the dough rise in a greased bowl covered with a towel for about an hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Punch down the dough, divide it into eight equal pieces, and flatten each piece to place a cube of mozzarella in the center. Fold edges over cheese and roll into balls.
  7. Roll each ball into a rope about 24 inches long and twist into pretzel shape.
  8. Boil water with baking soda in a saucepan; carefully add pretzels one at a time for about 30 seconds each, then drain on paper towels.
  9. Brush boiled pretzels with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse sea salt before baking for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
