Step-by-Step Instructions for Cheese Stuffed Pretzels
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Gradually mix in warm water until a smooth dough forms, about 5 minutes of kneading.
  2. Gently punch down the dough and divide it into 8 pieces. Roll each piece into a 20-inch long rope, shape into a pretzel, and place on a baking sheet.
  3. In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil and stir in baking soda. Boil each pretzel for 30 seconds.
  4. Cut small slits on top of each pretzel and stuff with cheese.
  5. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Bake pretzels for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
