Method
In a bowl heat 1 1/2 cup water with salt and sugar. Mix well and add yeast. Let the yeast bloom for 8-10 minutes.
In the base of a stand mixer or a large bowl mix together 3 cups flour, bloomed yeast and water and unsalted butter.
Mix together till it comes together as a soft dough. If it is very sticky, add 1/2 cup flour. Use as much dough as required to form a smooth soft dough. Cover and let it rise for 10 -12 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 450 F/ 320 C. Line a cookie tray with a baking sheet and set aside.
Prepare the filling. To do so mince the jalapeno and shred the cheese. Mix all the ingredients and keep ready.
Also, prepare the soda bath by boiling the soda and water mixture. Keep a slotted spoon ready.
Divide the dough into 15 equal parts. Using each part roll out a disc. Place a tbsp of the filling and fold the edges to make a smooth ball. Repeat with the remaining dough and keep the breads covered with a moist cloth.
One by one drop the pretzel rolls into the boiling soda bath and let them be there for 10-15 seconds. Flip and remove from the bath using a slotted spoon in another 10-15 seconds. Leaving them any longer will give them a metallic taste.
Place them on the baking tray and sprinkle coarse sea salt on them. Bake for 15-18 minutes, till the crust is golden brown.
Remove and serve with olive oil, ranch or a marinara sauce.
#BreadBakers is a group of bread loving bakers who get together once a month to bake bread with a common ingredient or theme. You can see all our of lovely bread by following our Pinterest board right here. Links are also updated after each event on the #BreadBakers home page.
We take turns hosting each month and choosing the theme/ingredient. If you are a food blogger and would like to join us, just send Stacy an email with your blog URL to foodlustpeoplelove@gmail.com.
