Cheddar Cheese Stuffed Pretzel Bites
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups warm water
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup baking soda
- 1 egg, beaten
- Coarse sea salt, for sprinkling
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups warm water, 1 packet of active dry yeast, and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Add 4 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of salt to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into small pieces. Flatten each piece and place a small amount of shredded cheddar cheese in the center. Fold the dough over the cheese and roll into a ball, making sure the cheese is completely enclosed.
- In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water to a boil. Add 1/2 cup of baking soda to the boiling water.
- Boil the pretzel bites in batches for 30 seconds, then remove with a slotted spoon and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the pretzel bites with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the cheddar cheese stuffed pretzel bites warm.
