Steps:
- For the creamy mustard dip: Stir together the mustard, sour cream and honey. Season with salt. Transfer to a small serving bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- For the pretzel bites: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a tray with paper towels.
- Bring 3 quarts water to a boil in a large pot. Divide the pizza dough into four pieces and roll each piece into a rope about 3/4-inch in diameter. Cut each rope into approximately 1-inch long segments.
- When the water comes to a boil, add the baking soda and stir to combine. Add half of the dough to the water and boil for about 45 seconds. Transfer the boiled dough to the paper towels. Repeat with the remaining dough. Lightly pat the dough with a paper towel to dab off some of the foamy water.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Beat the egg with 1 1/2 tablespoons water in a small bowl.
- Dip each dough bite into the egg wash, letting the excess drip off, then place it on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each. Sprinkle the tops of the bites lightly with salt and bake until deep golden brown all over, 13 to 15 minutes.
- Serve warm with the creamy mustard dip.

Steps:
- Lightly flour a work surface. Place dough on flour and sprinkle more on top. Begin to knead dough, kneading about 2 tablespoons flour into dough until it is soft and supple but not too sticky, 5 to 10 minutes. Cover with a large bowl and allow dough to rest and come to room temperature, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and sprinkle lightly with cornmeal.
- Place water in a deep skillet. Whisk in baking soda to create an alkaline bath. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Adjust heat to keep water at a low simmer while you shape the dough.
- Dust dough with a sprinkling of flour as needed so that dough does not stick to work surface. Flatten slightly and divide into 6 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a round dough ball.
- Shape each dough ball into a disk, thinner in the middle, thicker around the edges. Poke a hole in the center. Gently keep pulling and stretching until you've achieved a round pretzel shape that's not too thick.
- Transfer pretzels (in batches if necessary) to simmering alkaline bath. Boil about 30 seconds per side. Transfer to prepared sheet with slotted spoon. Immediately sprinkle with coarse salt while pretzels are still wet and sticky. Let rest 5 to 10 minutes before baking.
- Place on center rack in preheated oven until beautifully browned, and stretch marks have formed, about 20 minutes. Exact times will depend on the specific size and shape of your pretzel.
- Transfer to a rack to cool a bit.

PRETZEL CRUST PIZZA
I love pretzel crust pizza but our local place no longer makes it. This is my version, I hope that you like it as much as I do. I've added the coarse salt to make it pretzel-like but feel free to omit it.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly coat 3 baking sheets with cooking spray.
- Place warm water into a measuring cup and stir in sugar to dissolve. Stir in yeast and set aside until foamy, about 10 minutes.
- Place flour, olive oil, and salt into a large bowl and stir to combine. Mix in yeast mixture and beat with an electric mixer until smooth, about 5 minutes.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 3 equal portions. Roll each portion into an 8-inch disc and place on the prepared baking sheets. Let rest for 10 minutes.
- Heat at least 3 inches of water in a wide, deep pot over high heat; bring to a boil. Add baking soda slowly and carefully into the water, as this will foam and rise. Reduce heat to medium, and add 1 dough disc to the pot; cook for 30 to 40 seconds. Remove disc using 2 spatulas or slotted spoons and transfer back to the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining discs. Gently blot discs with paper towels to remove any excess water. Brush lightly with butter and sprinkle with kosher salt.
- Bake crusts in the preheated oven until golden, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven; add pizza sauce and mozzarella cheese to each crust.
- Return pizzas to the oven and bake until cheese has melted and is golden, 10 to 15 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Unroll the dough, it should form 15x9-inch (38x22 cm) rectangle, then cut the rectangle horizontally into three equal strips. (These will be your three pretzels.)
- Carefully stretch each of the strips by width and length - stretch each to about 3 inch (7 ½ cm) width and about 34 inch (86 cm) length.
- Sprinkle 1 cup (100g) of cheese down the center of each dough strip. Reserve the last 1 cup (100g) of cheese for later.
- Fold the dough over the cheese, pressing to seal and rolling slightly to create 3 dough logs filled with cheese.
- Cover a baking sheet with foil and spray with vegetable oil.
- To form the pretzels, take one dough log, move it to the foil covered baking sheet, then form a circle with the ends of the log at the top of the circle. Twist the log ends around each other once and bring them down to meet the bottom of the circle. Repeat with the other two dough logs.
- Wrap pepperonis on the pretzels - 5-ish per pretzel - then sprinkle the remaining cup of cheese among the three pretzels.
- Bake 14-18 minutes until deep golden brown.

Tips:
- For the best results, use high-quality ingredients. This means using fresh, unbleached flour, active dry yeast, and cold water.
- Be sure to proof the yeast before using it. This will help to ensure that the dough rises properly.
- Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help to develop the gluten in the flour and make the dough strong.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place until it is doubled in size. This will take about 1 hour.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece of dough into a long rope and twist it into a pretzel shape.
- Place the pretzels on a greased baking sheet and let them rise for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and bake the pretzels for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
- Brush the pretzels with melted butter and sprinkle them with salt.
- Serve the pretzels warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
