Golden Soft Pretzel with toasted sesame

Method

1. Gather and prep everything first: all-purpose flour, instant yeast, kosher salt and set within reach of the stove.
2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the shallots in a little butter until translucent.
3. Add the soft pretzel and let it golden, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Fold in the cherry tomatoes and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
5. Off the heat, brighten it up with a grating of hard cheese and a final crack of pepper.
6. Serve warm, ideally with something to soak up the sauce.
