Ingredients

Scale

Dough:

  • 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 ½ tablespoons sugar
  • 1 cup warm water (110°F)
  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For Assembly:

  • 12 sticks of mozzarella string cheese
  • 10 cups water
  • ⅔ cup baking soda
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • Coarse sea salt, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water and let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. Add flour, salt, rosemary, and parmesan cheese to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.

  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a cloth, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  5. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Bring 10 cups of water to a boil and add the baking soda.
  7. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Wrap each piece around a mozzarella stick and seal the ends.
  8. Drop each pretzel into the boiling water for 30 seconds, then remove with a slotted spatula and place on the baking sheet.
  9. Brush each pretzel with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  11. Remove from the oven and brush with melted butter before serving.
