Rosemary and Parmesan Cheese Stuffed Pretzels
When I was in highschool, I mainly lived on the mall. I labored at a cafe and spent 99.9% of the cash I made there on gentle pretzels from the meals court. Because let’s be real, is there something higher than a gentle and chewy gentle pretzel? Especially one that’s nonetheless warm from the oven?

Turns out the one factor higher than a ordinary gentle pretzel is a CHEESE STUFFED gentle pretzel! And today’s new pretzel recipe is made with no longer one, but NULL cheeses! And flavored with contemporary rosemary, black pepper, garlic powder, and sea salt. So you recognize they’re going to be flavorful and delicious!

This do-it-yourself gentle pretzel dough is made with yeast. But don’t permit that scare you off! Because running with yeast is basic as soon as you recognize a number of things!

Don’t kill the yeast. You don’t need hot water to turn on the yeast. What you desire is warm water. I often just permit my faucet run hot for 10 seconds or so, then degree out the quantity wanted and do the “touch test”. If you’re new to yeast – or cooking in generic – a low-cost kitchen thermometer may possibly be a satisfactory solution to ensure your water is on the perfect temperature.
Yeast reproduces greatest among 70° and 80° (F). This merely potential in case your residence is quite chilly (and many are come Winter), crank on the range for a number of minutes – simply to warm it up – after which permit your dough rise in there. (Don’t overlook to turn the range off earlier than putting the dough inner to rise!) If your residence occurs to be too warm, discover a cooler position for it to rise. I discover my hallway closets are all the time cool. Whatever works, right?
Know what type of yeast you need. There are NULL varieties of dry yeast: Active Dry Yeast and Rapid-Rise Yeast. Though there are some minor variations in form and nutrients, Rapid-Rise Yeast is virtually the similar as Instant Yeast and Bread Machine Yeast. This is the position issues can get confusing…


These NULL varieties of dry yeast might be used interchangeably – but there are some limitations. Bread Machine Yeast is faster-rising and is specially formulated to be used for bread machines; its texture is finely granulated to hydrate just when mixed with flour. Active Dry Yeast might also be utilized in bread machines, however the effects might no longer be as consistent. When it involves rapid-rise yeast, the actual benefit is the growing time is half that of the Active Dry – and it only desires one rising. Some mavens trust you sacrifice taste and texture through rushing up the growing activity (as the yeast would no longer have time to grow its flavor), but I am a vast fan. Rapid-Rise Yeast may possibly be additional effective than Active Dry Yeast, meaning it might be mixed in together with your dry meals directly. In this recipe I use rapid-rise yeast.

In this recipe, the yeast is mixed with hot water, sugar, and salt, then left in a warm position to rise for about 10 minutes. It’s so simple!


Soft Pretzel Fillings
These gentle and chewy pretzels are crammed with mozzarella, parmesan, and rosemary. It’s very predominant to make use of contemporary rosemary, because the dried range won’t upload the similar taste to the dough. If you can’t discover contemporary rosemary, I might mean leaving it out.

For the cheese filling, I even have NULL tips:

Combine the NULL cheeses in a bowl, then position the bowl within the freezer for 20 minutes. This trick facilitates the cheese melt slowly. Slow melting cheese equals much less cheese leakage throughout the baking process.
Resist the temptation to overstuff your pretzels. I recognize here's difficult to resist! I’m constantly combating the urge m. But overstuffed pretzels will burst whereas baking. And as soon as they burst the cheese will leak out. Womp womp.

If your cheese does occur to leak out of a number of pretzels, it’s no longer the stop of the world. I often just fork it up and drizzle it on upper of the pretzel. Improvising with hot gooey cheese isn’t the worst solution to spend a number of minutes, ya know?


Be certain to bake the pretzels for the complete 16 minutes. Sometimes I even bake mine a bit longer. Because I just like the outdoor to get truly brown and toasty. The dough is so thick and gentle that baking them for a number of additional minutes could have no impact on the doughy interior.

Once eliminated from the oven, brush them with butter, and sprinkle with additional rosemary and parmesan cheese. Serve with honey mustard, marinara sauce, or simply consume them plain!


Bonus: those mozzarella crammed rosemary and parmesan gentle pretzels freeze like a dream!
