Soft pretzels are already a comforting classic, but imagine taking them up a notch—golden, pillowy, and stuffed with gooey mozzarella, fragrant fresh rosemary, and a savory Parmesan crust. This recipe transforms a simple pretzel into a snack that’s perfect for game day, a cozy night in, or impressing friends at a party. Here’s a step-by-step guide to making these irresistible mozzarella-stuffed soft pretzels.

Ingredients

For the dough:

• 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
• 1 ½ cups warm water (110°F / 43°C)
• 1 tsp sugar
• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

For boiling:

• 10 cups water
• 2/3 cup baking soda

For the filling:

• 8 oz mozzarella cheese, cut into small sticks or cubes
• 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

For topping:

• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
• Sea salt, for sprinkling

Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Activate the Yeast

1. In a small bowl, combine warm water and sugar.
2. Sprinkle yeast over the water and let it sit for 5–10 minutes until it becomes foamy. This ensures the yeast is active and ready to give your pretzels a light, airy texture.

Step 2: Prepare the Dough

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt.
2. Pour in the foamy yeast mixture and melted butter.
3. Mix until a rough dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
4. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
