Instructions
Twisted pretzels 1 Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F and prepare your baking sheets by lining with parchment paper. 2 Bring the 5 cups of water to a boil on medium high heat within a large pot. 3 Add dry ingredients into a bow/mixing bowll and whisk to combine. 4 Add water into the bowl and mix by hand or with the dough attachment. Continue mixing until the dough is smooth and fully mixed. 5 Cover and allow the dough to rest for 15 minutes before continuing. 6 Divide the dough into eight pieces of similar sizes. 7 Roll each piece of dough into a long rope that is approximately 1 ½ feet in length. 8 Fold the rope in half and twist the rope together until they’ve spiraled together as pictured below. Do one final twist in order to achieve the final twisted pretzel shape! 9 Add the baking soda to boiling water – it will bubble and foam so make sure you’re prepared! 10 Add the pretzels one by one into the boiling water for 45-60 seconds, then remove with a slotted spoon. Place them on your prepared baking sheet. 11 Brush each pretzel with egg wash and sprinkle with flaky sea salt and chili flakes, 12 Bake pretzels for 16-18 minutes minutes, turning once halfway through the bake before enjoying! Spicy Beer Cheese with Stout 14 Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk together until a thick paste forms, about 1 minute. 15 In a slow and steady stream, whisk in the milk. After it’s all added, continue whisking until it slightly thickens, about 1 minute. 16 One at a time, whisk in the remaining ingredients until smooth. Then serve with pretzels!View original recipe
