Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, instant yeast, and sugar. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually mix in the yeast mixture and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth.
  3. Fold in chopped rosemary and grated Parmesan. Shape into a ball, place in greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise for about 1 hour.
  4. Preheat oven to 425°F. Punch down the dough, divide into 8 pieces, shape into rolls, place mozzarella in the center, and seal.
  5. Boil 10 cups of water, stir in baking soda and boil each pretzel for 30 seconds on each side. Drain on paper towels.
  6. Brush pretzels with melted butter, sprinkle with coarse sea salt, and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and puffed up.
  7. Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm with creamy mustard dip, marinara sauce, or herbed olive oil.
