Preparation Steps
1
In a bowl, combine the flour, dry yeast, sugar, and salt. Add the lukewarm water and melted butter, then mix until a smooth dough forms.
2
Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
3
Divide the risen dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into long ropes and shape them into pretzel shapes.
4
Bring 1 liter of water to a boil, then remove from the heat and add the baking soda (be careful, it will foam!).
5
Dip each pretzel into the baking soda water for 30 seconds, then remove and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6
Cut the mozzarella into small pieces and place them in the center of the pretzels, forming small pockets.
7
Bake the pretzels in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Best served fresh.
