Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 package Fleischmann’s® Simply Homemade® Pretzel Creations™
- 3/4 cup very warm water (120º to 130ºF)
- 1 tablespoon Mazola® Corn Oil
- 2 tablespoons Hot Roasted Diced Green Chiles, drained
- 1/2 cup Sharp White Cheddar Cheese
Instructions
- Combine pretzel mix and yeast in a large mixing bowl. Stir in water, corn oil and diced green chilies until thoroughly combined, using hands to knead if necessary.
- Cover dough and let rise 25 minutes in a warm, draft-free place. (Dough will not double in size.)
- Place dough on a clean, dry surface and divide into 9 equal pieces. Cover with a towel to prevent dough from drying. Using your hands roll each piece into an 18-inch rope. Make a U shape with the dough; cross left end over right end; repeat crossing and bring ends to bottom of pretzel and pressing in to the dough to secure them.
- Cover formed pretzels with a towel.
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Combine 6 cups water with baking soda in a large deep saucepan until water boils. The water will foam briefly when the baking soda is added, but will subside.
- Using a slotted spoon or spatula, dip one pretzel at a time into the boiling water allowing pretzel to slide off spoon into the water. Boil for 10 to 15 seconds, then remove the pretzel and place on baking sheet. Note: excess foaming may occur due to the acidity of the peppers. This is normal. Continue with remaining pretzels.
- Sprinkle each pretzel with pretzel salt. Top each pretzel with shredded white cheddar cheese.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese is golden and bubbly. Let cool on wire rack.
