Herb Cheese Pretzels

Prep Time: 30 Minutes
Cook Time: 15 Minutes
Ready in: 45 Minutes
Servings: 12

Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp grated Parmesan Cheese
½ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp dried basil
¼ tsp dried rosemary
¼ tsp dried oregano
½ cup butter
4 oz sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
3 Tbsp cold water

Directions:

Mix the flour, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, basil, rosemary, and oregano in a large bowl. Cut butter into small cubes, and add to flour mixture. Use a pastry blender or 2 knives to cut the butter into the flour; continue until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir in cheese. Sprinkle water, 1 tablespoon at a time, over the flour mixture; mix lightly until dough is evenly moist and clings together. You may not use all of the water.

Shape dough into a disc, and divide into 12 equal pieces. Wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate until firm.

Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). On a floured surface, roll one piece of dough at a time into an 11 inch long roll. To shape into pretzels: Curve ends of each rope to make a circle; cross ends at top. Twist ends once, and lay over bottom of circle. Place on greased baking sheets. Place pretzels, 2 inches apart, on an ungreased baking sheet.
Bake in preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool on wire racks.
