Ingredients
  

For the Pretzel Dough:

4 cups all-purpose flour

1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast

1 ½ cups warm water (110°F/43°C)

2 tbsp granulated sugar

1 tsp salt

2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

For the Filling:

8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into small cubes

For the Topping:

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

1 tbsp coarse sea salt

3 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 tsp dried rosemary)

For the Baking Soda Bath:

10 cups water

2/3 cup baking soda

Instructions
 

Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. Add melted butter and salt, then slowly incorporate flour one cup at a time until a dough forms.

    Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface. Knead for about 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

      Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

        Prepare the Baking Soda Bath: In a large pot, combine the water and baking soda. Bring it to a gentle boil.

          Shape the Pretzels: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope (about 12-15 inches). Press the rope flat, place a mozzarella cube in the center, and fold the dough over to seal, forming a ball. Roll it gently to smooth.

            Boil the Pretzels: Carefully drop each pretzel ball into the baking soda bath for about 30 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on the prepared baking sheet.

              Egg Wash and Season: Brush each pretzel with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sea salt, grated Parmesan, and chopped rosemary.

                Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

                  Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Serve warm, preferably with pizza sauce or marinara on the side for dipping.
