Ingredients
1 ½ cups warm water (110°F)
1 packet active dry yeast (2 ¼ tsp)
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp granulated sugar
4 cups all-purpose flour
⅔ cup baking soda (for boiling)
1 egg yolk beaten with 1 tbsp water (for egg wash)
12 mozzarella cheese sticks (cut in half)
Coarse sea salt (for topping)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
Add salt, sugar, and flour. Mix and knead for about 8 minutes until smooth.
Cover and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour until doubled.
Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C) and line baking sheet with parchment paper.
Divide dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each into a rope and flatten.
Place half a mozzarella stick in the center and wrap dough around, sealing tightly.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add baking soda.
Boil each pretzel for 30 seconds, then transfer to prepared baking sheet.
Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse salt.
Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown and cheese is melty.
Cool slightly and serve warm.
Notes
Use string cheese or block mozzarella cut into sticks for easier stuffing.
Seal dough tightly to avoid cheese leaks.
Serve with marinara sauce or mustard dip for added flavor.
