Cheese Rosemary Pretzels (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Dough

01 - 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
02 - 1 cup lukewarm water
03 - 1 package active yeast (dry)
04 - 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
05 - 1 teaspoon table salt
06 - 2 ½ cups plain flour

→ Filling and Toppings

07 - Coarse salt for sprinkling on top
08 - 1 small egg for brushing
09 - 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
10 - ½ cup Parmesan, grated
11 - 1 tablespoon finely chopped rosemary

→ Boiling Solution

12 - ¼ cup baking soda
13 - 10 cups water

# Instructions:

01 - Mix yeast, sugar, and water first. Then add butter, salt, and flour. Knead for about 5–7 minutes until it’s smooth.
02 - Cover the dough and leave it for 1 hour to rise until it doubles in size.
03 - Cut the dough into 8 pieces. Roll each into ropes, stuff with mozzarella, and twist into pretzel shapes.
04 - Submerge the pretzels in the boiling soda water for about 1–2 minutes on each side.
05 - Brush them with the egg, add your toppings, and bake at 425°F for 12–15 minutes until lightly browned.

# Notes:

01 - Tastes best while it's warm
02 - Lukewarm water works best for activating yeast
