- 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast
- 1 1/2 tsp sugar
- 4 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature, divided
- 8 ounces deli black forest ham, cut into 1/4 in. squares
- 8 ounces Swiss cheese, cut into 1/4 in. squares
- 1/4 cup jalapeno peppers, jarred or fresh, minced
- 1/4 cup pretzel salt (coarse food-grade salt)
Instructions
- Whisk warm water, yeast, and sugar together in a small bowl until combined. Let stand, until yeast is foamy, about 5 minutes
- Add flour and salt to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment. Mix on medium-low speed briefly to combine
- Add yeast mixture and 3/4 cup butter to the flour mixture. Combine on medium speed until smooth and elastic dough forms, about 10 minutes

- Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
- Combine sliced ham, cheese and jalapeno in a small bowl
- Once dough has risen, divide dough into 8 balls. Roll each ball into a 16-inch rope. Press each rope out 4-inches wide.
- Spread 3 tablespoons of ham mixture down the center of each rope. Roll rope back together and pinch edges to seal.
- Cut rope into 3 equal sticks, and pinch edges of sticks to seal. Repeat with remaining dough
- Space pretzels 1-inch apart on prepared baking sheet. Brush with remaining butter and top with pretzel salt
- Bake until golden-brown and fully cooked, about 20-25 minutes
