Ingredients:
Dough:
– 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 tablespoon sugar
– 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup warm water (110°F)
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
Stuffing & Topping:
– 12 mozzarella cheese sticks, halved
– 6 cups water
– 1/4 cup baking soda
– 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– Coarse sea salt for sprinkling
– 4 tablespoons melted butter
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Gradually add warm water and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
2. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Flatten each piece, place a mozzarella stick half in the center, and wrap the dough around it, pinching the edges to seal. Roll into a log shape.
4. In a large pot, bring 6 cups of water to a boil and stir in baking soda. Dip each stuffed dough log into the boiling water for 20-30 seconds. Remove and place on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Brush each pretzel with melted butter, then sprinkle with rosemary, Parmesan, and coarse sea salt.
6. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and fragrant. Let cool slightly before serving.
