Ingredients

Scale

Dough:

  • 1 ½ cups warm water (110°F to 115°F)
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Additional Ingredients:

  • ½ cup baking soda
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
  • Coarse sea salt (for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. Dissolve Yeast: In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour and kosher salt.
  3. Combine: Slowly add the flour mixture to the yeast mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
  4. Knead Dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Let it Rise: Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
  6. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  7. Prepare Baking Soda Bath: In a large pot, bring 10 cups of water to a boil. Add the baking soda carefully.
  8. Shape Pretzels: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope, then form it into a pretzel shape.
  9. Boil Pretzels: Place each pretzel into the boiling baking soda solution for about 30 seconds. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  10. Add Cheese: Make a small cut in the pretzel and stuff it generously with shredded cheese.
  11. Egg Wash: Brush each pretzel with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
  12. Bake: Bake the pretzels in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  13. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
