Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
¾ cup warm water (about 110°F)
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon baking soda
Coarse sea salt for topping

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine warm water and yeast; let sit until foamy (about 5 minutes).
Stir in flour until a dough forms; knead on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Divide the dough into smaller pieces, roll into long ropes, and twist into spider web shapes on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
In a pot, bring water and baking soda to a boil. Dip each pretzel web in the mixture for 30 seconds before returning them to the baking sheet.
Sprinkle shredded cheese on top and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
