Deliciously Homemade Soft Pretzels Stuffed with Brie Cheese
These soft homemade pretzels are delicious, stuffed with brie cheese. Seriously, get in my belly. If you are a lover of soft pretzels and cheese I think you'll enjoy these.
Ingredients
- 4 ½ cups flour
- 1 packet instant dry yeast
- 1 ½ tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 ½ cups warm water
- 6 tablespoons butter melted (cooled)
- Joan of Arc Double Cream Brie Cheese
- Sea salt
- Rosemary optional
Instructions
- Start out by grabbing a medium sized bowl. I used my stand mixer bowl. Now, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
- Place the paddle attachment on your stand mixer.
- Add the water and butter and mix on the low setting until mixture begins to turn into dough.
- Change to the dough hook and allow the mixer to knead dough on low for about 5 minutes or until it begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
- Roll the dough into one large ball.
- Coat a bowl with oil and place the dough in the bowl. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and place in a warm place for one hour. The dough should rise and double in size.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees and prepare two baking sheets. You can do this with non-stick sprary or parchment paper. I used parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out and cut into stripes or divide. You can divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and roll the dough out individually.
- Roll out each strip and place brie cheese in the center, and pinch the dough closed, leaving no openings.
- Using your hands, roll the dough into a rope and twist the pretzel into shape. You can see the above images.
- Repeat until finished.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine baking soda and hot water. Dip each pretzel into the water for about 20 seconds, remove from the water, and place on a piece of parchment paper.
- Sprinkle with sea salt and rosemary (optional)
- Place them on the baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
