Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup warm water (110°F)
- 1 packet active dry yeast (2 ¼ tsp)
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 2/3 cup baking soda (for boiling)
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (plus more for brushing)
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Activate the yeast by dissolving it with sugar in warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
- In a large bowl, mix flour and salt; add the yeast mixture and stir until a soft dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
- Let the dough rise in an oiled bowl, covered, for about an hour until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough, divide it into equal pieces, and roll each into ropes. Shape into pretzels by twisting the ends together.
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Boil water with baking soda and dip each pretzel for 30 seconds before placing them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Brush each pretzel with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse salt. Bake for about 12 minutes until golden brown.
