Asiago and Cheddar Soft Pretzels
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 18 minutes
Total Time: 33 minutes
Servings: 12 pretzels
Ingredients:
- 1 package dry hot roll mix
- 3/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup asiago cheese, shredded
- 1 egg, beaten
- Coarse salt, for sprinkling
- Optional toppings: sesame seeds, poppy seeds
- Mustard, for serving
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
-
Prepare dough: Prepare the dry hot roll mix according to the package directions, incorporating 3/4 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup of shredded asiago cheese into the dough mixture.
-
Divide and roll: Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece on a lightly floured countertop, shaping them into 15-inch ropes.
-
Form pretzels: Shape each rope into a pretzel by stretching and braiding. Ensure there are three even-size holes between the compartments of the pretzel.
-
Arrange on baking sheets: Place the formed pretzels 3 inches apart on two nonstick cookie sheets.
-
Brush with egg: Brush the pretzels with the beaten egg, ensuring they are evenly coated.
-
Add toppings: Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of shredded asiago cheese and coarse salt (or optional toppings like sesame seeds or poppy seeds) over the pretzels.
-
Bake: Bake the pretzels in the preheated oven until they turn golden brown, typically for about 16 to 18 minutes.
-
Cool and serve: Once baked, immediately transfer the pretzels to a wire cooling rack to cool slightly. Serve them warm or at room temperature with mustard, if desired.
-
Storage: Store any leftover pretzels in a tightly sealed container at room temperature for up to four days.
