Cheddar Bacon Pretzel Recipe (Street Food Style)

Ingredients :

• 2 cups (500ml) milk
• 1 and a half tablespoons of active dry yeast
• 1/3 cup (75 ml) brown sugar
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 4 3/4 cups (1190 ml) all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons of salt
• 1 cup (250 ml) crumbled bacon (Tip for cooking bacon)
• 1 cup (250 mL) cheddar cheese
• 2 cups (500ml) hot water
• 1/3 cup (90 ml) baking soda

And again for the end:

• 2 tablespoons of salt
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Preparation :

1. In a medium-sized pot, heat the milk to just below 110°F (42°C). A little hotter and it will kill the yeast, so use a thermometer. Remove from fire.
2. Add the yeast, mix well and let stand for 5 minutes.
3. Add the butter and brown sugar and mix well.
4. Add flour and salt and mix until combined.
5. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and knead the dough for about 10 minutes. Add a little flour if the dough is too sticky.
6. Cover the dough with a clean cloth and let it rest. The dough should double in size.
7. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
8. Knead the dough again and divide into 16 equal sized balls.
9. Flatten the ball into a disc. Add a good dose of bacon and cheese.
10. Fold in the ends of the discs to form balls with the filling trapped inside.
11. Mix hot water and baking soda.
12. Dip each ball in hot water and place on the baking sheet.
13. Sprinkle with salt.
14. Cook for 15 minutes.
15. Remove from heat and brush with butter.
16. Serve!
