Description

Learn how to make amazing ultimate cheese stuffed pretzels. This recipe transforms a classic snack into an unforgettable experience with a molten core of savory, gooey cheese inside a golden-brown, soft pretzel.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1 cup warm water (105-115°F)
  • 2 1/2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon baking soda
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
  • Flaky sea salt, for topping

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine yeast, sugar, and warm water. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups of flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and melted butter.
  3. Mix until a shaggy dough forms. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic, adding more flour as needed.
  4. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  5. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Punch down the dough. Divide into 8 equal portions.
  7. Flatten each portion into a small circle. Place about 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese in the center of each circle.
  8. Pinch the edges of the dough together to seal the cheese inside, forming a ball. Ensure the cheese is fully enclosed. These are your cheese stuffed pretzel balls.
  9. In a shallow dish, whisk the egg.
  10. In a separate bowl, dissolve baking soda in 4 cups of hot water.
  11. Dip each cheese stuffed pretzel ball into the egg wash, then into the baking soda water.
  12. Place the prepared cheese stuffed pretzels on the lined baking sheet.
  13. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
  14. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  15. Serve your delicious cheese stuffed pretzels warm.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to your cheese filling.
  • Experiment with different cheese combinations for varied flavors.
  • Ensure the dough is properly sealed around the cheese to prevent leakage during baking.
