Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Warm water
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 scoop Protein powder (vanilla or plain)
• 0.5 cup Peanut butter
• 0.25 cup Baking soda
• 5 cups Water
• 0 Cooking spray
• 0 for sprinkling Coarse sea salt
• 1 Egg

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and honey. Stir gently and let sit for about 5 minutes until the mixture begins to foam.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, salt, and protein powder.

Step 3

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the yeast mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon or using a stand mixer with a dough hook, until the dough comes together and is slightly sticky.

Step 4

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 20 minutes or until it doubles in size.

Step 6

While the dough is rising, place peanut butter in the refrigerator to firm up.

Step 7

Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper, spraying them with cooking spray.

Step 8

Bring 5 cups of water and baking soda to a rolling boil in a large pot.

Step 9

After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal pieces.

Step 10

Flatten each piece of dough into a rectangle and place about 2 teaspoons of chilled peanut butter in the center.

Step 11

Roll the dough around the peanut butter, pinching the edges to seal and then shape each into a pretzel form.

Step 12

Gently drop pretzels two at a time into the boiling water for 30 seconds each, removing with a slotted spoon and placing them on prepared baking sheets.

Step 13

Beat the egg with a fork, then brush each pretzel generously with the egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.

Step 14

Bake the pretzels for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 15

Allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your high-protein peanut butter stuffed pretzels!
