Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Oktoberfest Pretzel Muffins
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons yeast, 2 tablespoons pretzel seasoning, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon oregano for about 2 minutes.
  2. Create a well in the center of the dry mixture, then pour in 1 cup of warm milk, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and 1 tablespoon of honey. Stir until you form a shaggy dough, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Once your dough is ready, gently fold in 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese until evenly distributed, taking care not to overmix. This should take about 1 minute.
  4. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare the muffin pan by greasing it or using muffin liners. Fill each muffin cup with the dough, ensuring they're about two-thirds full, which takes around 5-7 minutes.
  5. Transfer the muffin pan to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. Once baked, allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely for an additional 10 minutes.
