Seriously, can you really beat gooey melted cheddar inside a soft and chewy sriracha-flavored pretzel? We think not! This is one of our favorite appetizers ever! This is the kind of recipe that you fall in love with instantly and want to immediately share with all of your spicy-loving friends and family. You get the chewy pretzel bread, the gooey cheese inside, and the spicy sriracha in the dough itself as well as coating the outside. Win, win, win! This is the perfect party food. Worried they are too hard to make? Forget about it. These babies are super simple to make! The dough requires just a few ingredients and just needs to rest while you get everything else ready. Then, you stuff a cube of cheddar cheese inside and roll it into a ball. The dough is boiled in baking soda water for sixty seconds to give it that soft pretzel texture. Do not skip the boiling step. It’s really important in pretzel making to get the right texture. Then it’s off to bake!
Bread Machine Instructions: Don’t have a stand mixer, or just prefer the ease of your bread machine? We get it. To make the pretzel dough in a bread machine, simply add the water, yeast, brown sugar, 2 Tablespoons sriracha, and flour to your bread machine and select the dough setting. Once the dough cycle is done, remove your dough and cut into walnut sized pieces before adding your cheese and moving on with the recipe. Can Cheddar Stuffed Sriracha Pretzel Bites Be Made Dairy Free? Yes! Simply replace the cheddar cheese with your preferred dairy-free cheese. Not all plant-based cheeses are made equally, so it is best to use a brand known for its melting capabilities. Storage and Reheating Instructions: These are best eaten same day, but can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Alternatively, you can freeze leftovers for up to 3 months. When ready to consume, pull out of the freezer and bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-8 minutes, until warmed through.
