Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
  • 2 tablespoons baking soda (for boiling)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Coarse salt (for topping)
  • Extra rosemary and Parmesan (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Activate Yeast:
    In a large bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Mix Dough:
    Add melted butter, salt, and flour to the yeast mixture. Stir and knead by hand or mixer for 6–8 minutes until smooth.
  3. Let Rise:
    Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, until doubled in size.
  4. Prepare Filling:
    Mix mozzarella, Parmesan, and rosemary in a small bowl. Set aside.
  5. Preheat Oven & Water Bath:
    Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Bring 8 cups of water to a boil and add baking soda.
  6. Shape Pretzels:
    Punch down dough and divide into 8 portions. Roll each into a 20-inch rope. Flatten each rope, fill with cheese mixture, then pinch to seal and shape into pretzels.
  7. Boil Pretzels:
    Boil pretzels in baking soda water for 30 seconds each. Remove with slotted spoon and place on baking sheets.
  8. Egg Wash and Topping:
    Brush each pretzel with egg. Sprinkle with coarse salt, extra rosemary, and Parmesan.
  9. Bake:
    Bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden brown and cheese is bubbling. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

For best flavor, use fresh rosemary.

Mini pretzels can be made by dividing dough into smaller pieces and reducing bake time.

Store leftovers in an airtight container; reheat in oven to refresh texture.
