SOFT BAKED PRETZELS AND A CHEESY MUSTARD DIP
Who doesn't like pretzels and cheese dip. This is simple, easy, quick and a great appetizer. Try MNF (Monday Night Football), a Sunday tail gate, or just a pot luck dinner. Just easy. If you don't want salt, pepper, poppy seeds, parmesan, lots of other topping can be put on the pretzel if you don't want salt..

Steps:
- Cheese sauce -- Add the beer (or milk), cheese, mustard, and onion to a small sauce pan and heat up. Garnish with the sauteed bacon.
- Bread -- Separate the 12 bread sticks and then cut each lengthwise in half to make 24 bread sticks. Now roll each one to make a small rope. Now make a knot. I don't care how you make the knot, use any design you want. I like to make a '"O" the cross the bottom and twist and then flip the cross piece back over the "O", but again, just make a knot, it isn't important that they look perfect.
- Brush the breadstick with egg and then add the salt. Bake 375 for about 15 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve with the cheese sauce. The perfect quick appetizer.

Tips:
- Use a kitchen scale to measure your ingredients. This will ensure that your pretzels are the perfect consistency.
- Dissolve the sugar and yeast in warm water before adding them to the flour. This will help to activate the yeast and make sure that your pretzels rise properly.
- Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help to develop the gluten in the dough and make your pretzels chewy.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place for at least an hour. This will help the dough to double in size and become light and airy.
- Shape the dough into pretzels. You can use a variety of different shapes, such as traditional pretzels, knots, or rods.
- Boil the pretzels in a baking soda solution before baking them. This will help to give the pretzels their characteristic chewy texture and golden brown color.
- Bake the pretzels in a hot oven until they are golden brown. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
