Print Recipe

Soft, chewy pretzels stuffed with gooey mozzarella cheese, perfect for snacking or as a party appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups warm water
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 packet active dry yeast
  • 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 oz mozzarella cheese, cut into sticks
  • 10 cups water
  • 2/3 cup baking soda
  • 1 egg yolk, beaten
  • Coarse salt for sprinkling

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. In a large bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and salt. Sprinkle yeast on top and let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add flour and melted butter to the yeast mixture. Stir until a dough forms, then knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth.
  3. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  4. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Bring 10 cups of water and baking soda to a boil in a large pot.
  5. Divide dough into 8 equal pieces. Flatten each piece, place a mozzarella stick in the center, and roll to seal completely.
  6. Shape each stuffed dough piece into a pretzel shape. Boil each pretzel for 30 seconds, then transfer to a baking sheet.
  7. Brush pretzels with beaten egg yolk and sprinkle with coarse salt. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
