How to Make Chewy Cheesy Soft Pretzels
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm water (105-115°F), 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Add 4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and ½ cup melted unsalted butter. Mix until just combined.
- Gradually add another 1-1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Divide the dough in half.
- Roll each half into a 12x8 inch rectangle.
- Cut each rectangle into 8 strips, each about 8 inches long.
- Fold each strip in half lengthwise.
- Pinch the edges together to seal.
- Twist each strip into a pretzel shape.
- Place pretzels onto greased baking sheets.
- Whisk together 1 egg yolk with 1 tablespoon of water. Brush the pretzels with the egg wash and sprinkle generously with coarse sea salt.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
