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.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven 450*. In a measuring cup stir yeast, warm water, sugar and salt together let proof for 5-10 minutes till bubbly.
- 2. In a mixing bowl, add flour, melted butter add yeast mixture. mix with wooden spoon (I use my clean hands) to form a ball.
- 3. Flour a work surface, knead dough 5 minutes or until smooth. Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover and set aside for 1 hour until doubled in size.
- 4. Knead dough on floured surface for 5 minutes. Divide into 8-10 balls, roll out dough into a 12 inch length. Twist into pretzel shape.
- 5. Meanwhile, bring 10 Cups of water to a boil, add 2/3 cups baking soda to the water. After pretzels are formed, drop into boiling soda water for 30 seconds. Remove and place on parchment lined baking sheet.
- 6. Brush pretzels with egg wash (egg & water mixed) and sprinkle with shredded cheese of your choice. Place into oven to bake for 12-15 min... check them for brown color.
Tips:
- Use active dry yeast. If you're using instant yeast, reduce the amount by half and dissolve it in warm water before adding it to the dough.
- Proof the yeast before using it. This will ensure that it's active and will help the dough rise properly.
- Knead the dough until it's smooth and elastic. This will help develop the gluten in the flour, which will give the pretzels their chewy texture.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place until it's doubled in size. This will take about 1-2 hours.
- Shape the dough into pretzels. You can use a variety of methods, but the most common is to roll out the dough into a long rope, then twist it into a pretzel shape.
- Boil the pretzels in a baking soda solution before baking them. This will give them their characteristic chewy crust.
- Bake the pretzels in a hot oven until they're golden brown. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
- Serve the pretzels warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
