Steak Cheese Stuffed Pretzels Recipe


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 2¼ tsp instant dry yeast
  • ⅔ cup warm water
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 2 Tbsp baking soda
  • 14 oz shaved steak (cooked)
  • 8 oz Monterey Jack cheese
  • 6 oz Extra Sharp Cheddar
  • ½ Tbsp pretzel salt
  • 1 Tbsp melted butter

Instructions

  1. Using countertop mixer with dough hook, combine flour, salt, sugar, softened butter, onion powder, yeast and warm water. Mix on medium speed for 5 minutes until soft dough forms.
  2. Transfer dough to oiled bowl, cover and let rise at room temperature for 45 minutes.
  3. Combine boiling water and baking soda, stir until dissolved. Set aside to cool. Cook steak and cube cheeses during this time.
  4. Divide risen dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each into 3″x 5″ rectangle.
  5. Distribute cooked steak and cheese cubes evenly across dough pieces.
  6. Fold bottom up, then sides over. Pinch seams together at top. Repeat for all pieces.
  7. Set oven to 450°F.
  8. Place each pretzel in baking soda mixture for 2 minutes. Spoon mixture over top if needed.
  9. Spray baking pan with non-stick spray. Transfer pretzels to pan.
  10. Sprinkle tops with coarse salt. Let sit uncovered for 10 minutes.
  11. Bake 11-13 minutes until golden brown on top.
  12. Remove from oven and brush with melted butter before serving.

Notes

  • Keep dough covered while working to prevent drying out – work with one piece at a time
  • Don’t overstuff the pretzels or they’ll burst during baking – less is more for perfect sealing
  • Make sure the baking soda bath has cooled to room temperature before dipping pretzels
  • Pinch seams tightly and place seam-side down on baking pan for best results
  • Brush with melted butter immediately after baking while pretzels are still hot for maximum flavor
