Satisfy your cravings with these homemade Mozzarella Stuffed Soft Pretzels! Perfectly golden and chewy on the outside, these soft pretzels are loaded with gooey mozzarella cheese inside. Whether you're hosting a party, enjoying game day, or just want a savory snack, this easy recipe will be a hit. A simple pretzel dough wraps around mozzarella sticks, then boiled and baked to perfection—serve with marinara sauce or your favorite dip for extra flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 ½ cups warm water (110°F)

  • 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour

  • ⅓ cup baking soda (for water bath)

  • 8 mozzarella sticks, halved

  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)

  • Coarse salt (for topping)

  • Optional: marinara sauce for dipping

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.

  2. Add salt and flour, mix until a dough forms.

  3. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Let rest 10 minutes.

  4. Divide dough into 16 equal pieces. Flatten each piece and wrap around a half mozzarella stick.

  5. Pinch edges to seal and roll into short ropes, shaping into mini pretzels or logs.

  6. Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Bring a large pot of water with baking soda to a boil.

  7. Boil each pretzel for 20 seconds, then place on baking sheet lined with parchment.

  8. Brush with egg wash, sprinkle with coarse salt.

  9. Bake 12–15 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.

  10. Serve warm with dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Make sure the mozzarella sticks are fully sealed in the dough to avoid cheese leaks.

  • You can freeze unbaked pretzels and boil + bake them straight from frozen.

  • Try stuffing with other cheeses like cheddar or pepper jack for variation.
