3. Boil the Pretzels
Bring 10 cups of water to a boil in a large pot, and add the baking soda to the water (this is what gives pretzels their signature golden crust). Carefully lower each pretzel into the boiling water, one at a time, and let them boil for about 30 seconds. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
4. Bake the Pretzels
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Brush each pretzel with the beaten egg to give them a shiny, golden finish. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt to add flavor and texture.
Bake the pretzels in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
5. Serve and Enjoy
Let the pretzels cool for a few minutes, then dig in! Break open the soft pretzel to reveal the gooey, melted mozzarella inside. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce, like mustard, marinara, or even a bit of honey mustard for a sweet and savory combo.
🍴 Tips and Variations
- Add a flavor twist: Before boiling, brush the pretzels with melted butter and sprinkle them with a bit of garlic powder or oregano for a garlic bread-inspired version.
- Make them mini: You can make smaller, bite-sized versions of these pretzels for a fun appetizer or party snack.
- Stuff with other cheeses: While mozzarella is classic, you can mix things up by using cheddar, pepper jack, or any of your favorite melting cheeses.
- Freezing option: Freeze the stuffed, shaped pretzels before boiling them. When ready to bake, simply boil and bake as usual—great for meal prep or a quick snack!
