Mozzarella Stuffed Soft Pretzels Recipe

Print Recipe

These mozzarella stuffed soft pretzels are golden, chewy on the outside and gooey with melted cheese on the inside. A delicious twist on the classic soft pretzel, perfect for snacks or parties.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water (110°F)
  • 1 packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 tsp)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 oz mozzarella cheese, cut into sticks
  • 2/3 cup baking soda
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Coarse salt, for topping

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add salt, melted butter, and flour. Mix until dough forms. Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  3. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  4. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  5. Divide dough into 8 equal portions. Flatten each piece, place a mozzarella stick in the center, and wrap dough around the cheese, forming a rope. Twist into a pretzel shape.
  6. In a large pot, bring 10 cups of water and baking soda to a boil. Carefully drop each pretzel into the boiling water for 30 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on prepared baking sheets.
  7. Brush each pretzel with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse salt.
  8. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown.
  9. Cool slightly before serving. Serve warm for gooey cheese.

Notes

  • You can use string cheese for easier stuffing.
  • Serve with marinara or mustard dipping sauce for extra flavor.
  • Reheat in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispness.
