Ingredients

• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1.25 cups Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.33 cup Baking soda
• 1.5 cups Creamy peanut butter
• 1 cup Baking chocolate chips
• 1 Egg
• 2 tablespoons Coarse sea salt

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir until the yeast is dissolved and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Step 2

Add all-purpose flour and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until a dough begins to form.

Step 3

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a damp cloth, and allow it to rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 6

In a small saucepan, melt baking chocolate chips over low heat, stirring frequently until smooth, then mix this into the creamy peanut butter until well combined to form the filling.

Step 7

Divide the risen dough into 24 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a small, flat disk and place about 1 tablespoon of the chocolate peanut butter mixture into the center.

Step 8

Wrap the dough around the filling to form a ball, ensuring seams are pinched tightly to prevent leaking.

Step 9

Fill a large pot halfway with water and bring it to a boil. Stir in baking soda until dissolved.

Step 10

Carefully lower a few dough balls at a time into the boiling soda water for about 30 seconds. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and place them on the prepared baking sheets.

Step 11

Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash. Brush the tops of each dough ball with the egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the pretzels are golden brown.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and cool slightly before serving.
