These Mozzarella Stuffed Soft Pretzels are a delicious twist on a classic snack. Soft, golden pretzels are filled with gooey mozzarella cheese, boiled for that signature pretzel texture, and baked to perfection. Perfect for dipping in marinara sauce.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups warm water (110°F to 115°F)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast
  • 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 cup baking soda
  • 10 cups water
  • 8 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut into 16 equal pieces
  • Coarse sea salt, for sprinkling
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (for brushing)
  • Marinara sauce, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, or until foamy.
  2. Add flour, melted butter, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface until smooth and elastic.
  3. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  4. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. In a large pot, bring 10 cups of water and baking soda to a boil. Divide dough into 16 equal pieces. Flatten each into a rectangle and place a piece of mozzarella in the center. Fold over and seal edges.
  6. Drop each stuffed dough ball into the boiling water and cook for 30 seconds. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Sprinkle pretzels with coarse sea salt and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  8. Remove from oven, brush with melted butter, and serve warm with optional marinara sauce.

Notes

  • Ensure the cheese is fully sealed inside to avoid leakage during baking.
  • Boiling the pretzels gives them their classic chewy texture.
  • You can substitute mozzarella with other melty cheeses for variety.
  • Serve immediately for the best cheesy experience.
