Ham and Cheese Pretzel Bites

These delicious bites are the PERFECT party food! Don't be intimidated by the cooking process. It's way easier than it looks! You will not be disappointed.

I had been stalking this particular recipe on Pinterest for quite some time (source: penniesonaplatter.com). We had some people over a while back, so it was the perfect opportunity to finally make these cute little bites! I had never made soft pretzels before, but I do have deliciously wonderful memories of them. Back in my poor, single years (as opposed to my current poor, married years, ha), I was a waitron at Timberwolves games. Isn't that a funny word? Waitron? Anyhow, before the madness began each night, we had the option to eat either a free hot dog or a free soft pretzel. I usually opted for the pretzel, along with a container of warm, gooey cheese for dipping. I never got tired of those things.

I don't think I have bitten into a soft pretzel since my waitron days, which seems like a different lifetime. So when I bit into these, my tastebuds did cartwheels! Reunited with the beloved soft pretzel!




HAM AND CHEESE PRETZEL BITES

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 cup warm milk (110-115 degrees F)
2 1/2 to 3 cups flour
1 package (1/4 oz) instant dry yeast
1/2 cup finely chopped ham
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
6 cups water
4 teaspoons baking soda
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1-2 tablespoons coarse kosher salt

Instructions:

  • In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar and warm milk until dissolved. In a large bowl, combine 2 ½ cups flour, the milk mixture and the yeast. Stir until a soft dough forms. Add the remaining flour as needed. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead a few times, forming a smooth ball.
  • Brush the inside of a large clean bowl with olive oil. Transfer the dough to the bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Allow to rise in a warm, draft-free area for about 2 hours, until dough has doubled in size and bubbles appear on the surface.
