Preparing Cheesy Rosemary Pretzel Delights
Making these pretzels is a straightforward process that’s both fun and rewarding. You’ll start by bringing together the dry ingredients and infusing them with the earthy aroma of rosemary. The dough gets a chance to rise, which is key to achieving that fluffy texture. Then, you can shape your pretzels before boiling them in a baking soda bath, enhancing their chewiness. Finally, sprinkle on the cheese, bake until golden, and prepare for the compliments to roll in!
