Once the dough has risen, divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope (about 18 inches long). Flatten the rope slightly, place a mozzarella stick in the center, and fold the dough over to encase the cheese. Pinch the edges to seal tightly and shape into a pretzel.
Boil the Pretzels
Carefully place each pretzel into the boiling baking soda bath, one or two at a time, for about 30 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on the prepared baking sheets.
Egg Wash and Salt
Brush each pretzel with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Cool and Serve
Allow the pretzels to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with your favorite dipping sauces!
