- Fold in chopped rosemary and grated Parmesan. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour.
Shaping
- Divide the risen dough into 8 pieces, flatten slightly, and place a cube of mozzarella in the center.
- Fold dough over cheese, seal well, and shape into pretzels.
Boiling and Baking
- Bring water to a boil, add baking soda, and boil each pretzel for 30 seconds.
