Ingredients

  • All-purpose flour
  • Active dry yeast
  • Warm water
  • Sugar
  • Salt
  • Cheddar cheese
  • Baking soda
  • Butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
  2. Mix the Ingredients: Add in the flour and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough begins to form. If you have a stand mixer, use the dough hook attachment for about 5 minutes until smooth.
  3. Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for another 5 minutes. The dough should be elastic and slightly tacky.
  4. Let it Rise: Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  5. Prepare the Cheese: While the dough is rising, cut the cheddar cheese into small cubes or shred it for easier stuffing.
  6. Shape the Pretzels: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope (about 18 inches). Flatten it slightly and place a cube of cheese in the center. Fold the dough over the cheese and pinch to seal.
  7. Form the Pretzel Shape: Twist each stuffed dough rope into a pretzel shape, ensuring the ends are tightly sealed.
  8. Boil the Pretzels: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). In a large pot, bring about 10 cups of water to a boil and add 2/3 cup of baking soda. Boil each pretzel for about 30 seconds, then remove and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  9. Bake: Brush the pretzels with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse salt. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  10. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the pretzels to cool slightly before serving. They are best enjoyed warm!

Keywords: Experiment with fillings such as cooked bacon bits, jalapeños, or different cheeses. For a unique flavor, mix minced garlic into the melted butter before brushing it on the pretzels.
