Delicious homemade pretzels stuffed with zesty jalapeño cheese, perfectly baked to golden brown.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups warm water
  • 1 packet active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons baking soda
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • 1 cup shredded jalapeño cheese
  • Coarse sea salt (for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast in a large bowl by mixing warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. Combine the dry ingredients by gently stirring in flour and salt until a soft dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes, until it’s smooth and elastic.
  4. Let the dough rise in a warm spot, covered, for 1 hour until it has doubled in size.
  5. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) while the dough rises.
  6. Shape the pretzels by dividing the dough into pieces, stuffing each with shredded jalapeño cheese.
  7. Boil the pretzels in a large pot of water mixed with baking soda for 30 seconds each, then let them drain.
  8. Prepare for baking by placing the boiled pretzels on a parchment-lined baking sheet, brushing with egg wash, and sprinkling with sea salt.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the pretzels are golden brown.
  10. Enjoy warm with your favorite dips or on their own!

Notes

Perfect for casual gatherings or game days. Can be paired with cheese dip or spicy mustard.
