Cheese-Stuffed Soft Pretzels are golden-baked twists of chewy pretzel dough filled with gooey melted cheese—perfect for a comforting snack, appetizer, or party treat.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) instant yeast
  • 1 1/4 cups warm water
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, or blend)
  • 1/4 cup baking soda (for boiling)
  • Coarse salt (for topping)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add flour, salt, and melted butter. Mix and knead until smooth and elastic. Let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled.
  3. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. Divide dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each into a rope and flatten slightly.
  5. Place shredded cheese down the center, seal the dough around the cheese, and shape into pretzels.
  6. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add baking soda. Boil pretzels one at a time for 30 seconds, then transfer to baking sheet.
  7. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse salt.
  8. Bake for 15–18 minutes until golden brown. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Seal pretzels well to prevent cheese from leaking during baking.
  • Boiling in baking soda water gives the pretzels their signature texture and color.
  • Brush with butter after baking for extra shine and flavor.
  • Reheat in the oven to maintain the chewy texture and melty cheese.
  • Try pepper jack for a spicy twist or Gruyère for a more gourmet flavor.
