PRETZEL BITES WITH MUSTARD CHEESE SAUCE
Such an easy way to make a lovely appy when guest are coming. I usually make my own pizza dough, but it's also available in grocery stores, usually around the deli. Originally saw the recipe on Tasty.com but have made a few tweeks of my own. The yield depends on the size of both your dough and the balls themselves. If you don't have Barley Malt Syrup for the water bath, you can use Molasses, or even just leave it out.

Steps:

- Brush each dough ball with egg wash and sprinkle with a bit of coarse salt. Place tray in oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, until pretzels turn a deep brown color.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Pour in the milk while whisking. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the milk begins to thicken slightly. Add in the French's Honey Mustard, cheese, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Whisk until cheese melts and the sauce is smooth. Let the cheese sauce bubble for a few more minutes to thicken up slightly. Serve immediately with the pretzel bites!

PRETZEL-ISH PIGS IN A BLANKET WITH MUSTARD SAUCE
This is so much fun. I find the price of these, premade in the freezer section, to be excessive. That was my first motivator to attempt to make them (somewhat) at home... Then, more important things came into play: They taste better when rolled and baked fresh. They are fun to make. It's just enough cooking when you feel like a project that doesn't take up too much time. The pretzel flavor makes these special. It's pizza dough with the baking soda "bath" that gives you the pretzel vibes.

Steps:
- For the dough: In a bowl, combine the warm water and yeast. Stir to dissolve the yeast and allow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes.
- Using a sieve or strainer, sift about half of the flour over the yeast mixture and mix with your hands until smooth. Add the oil, honey and kosher salt. Sift over the remaining flour and mix to combine.
- Lightly flour a cutting board or flat surface. Turn the dough onto the floured area and knead until the dough is smooth and the ingredients are fully integrated, 3 to 5 minutes. Lightly oil a bowl and place the dough inside. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest in a warm place until it has doubled in volume, about 1 1/2 hours.
- For the mustard sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk the mustard, honey, hot sauce and vinegar with a splash of warm water. Taste for seasoning. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- For the pretzel-ish pigs in a blanket: Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper sprayed with nonstick cooking spray or silicone baking mats and set aside. Sprinkle some flour on a flat surface. Roll the dough out into an 18-by-13-inch rectangle about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Cut into 2 1/4-inch squares. Roll each mini hot dog in a single piece of the dough. Pinch the seam and ends to firmly close, tucking the excess on the ends underneath. Place each wrapped hot dog seam-side down on one of the prepared baking sheets.
- For the baking soda bath: Prepare a third baking sheet or large platter with parchment. In a medium pot, bring about 6 cups of water to a boil over medium heat. Slowly whisk in the baking soda a bit at a time. Working in batches, use a slotted spoon to drop each pig in a blanket into the water for 30 seconds, then remove and transfer to the prepared third baking sheet or platter.
- Transfer the pigs in a blanket in a single layer back onto the original baking sheets, allowing some space between each. Sprinkle the dogs with the pretzel salt or kosher salt. Bake in the center of the oven until the pastry is nicely browned, 25 to 30 minutes. Lightly brush with melted butter before serving. Serve with the mustard sauce on the side.

BEER CHEESE AND SOFT PRETZEL BITES
This recipe uses one of maybe my favorite hacks ever! I take deli or bakery pizza dough and turn it into browned-and-crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside pretzel bites that beg to be dipped in a cheesy beer sauce. Serve these at your next tailgate or party and watch them disappear!

Steps:
- Make the soft pretzel bites: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a cooling rack covered with paper towels.
- Bring 8 cups of water to a boil in a large stockpot. (It may seem like a small amount of water for a large pot, but once you add baking soda it'll foam up.)
- While the water comes to a boil, place the dough ball on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 4 equal pieces. Roll each portion into a long rope. Cut the ropes into 1-inch pieces.
- When the water is boiling, add the baking soda and sugar. Cook the dough pieces, in batches, for 30 seconds. Drain on the paper towels.
- Whisk together the egg yolk and 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl. Dip the tops of the pretzels in the egg wash and sprinkle with salt. Place on parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Bake until the pretzel bites are nicely browned, 9 to 10 minutes.
- For the beer cheese: Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and cook until foamy, about 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the beer until the mixture is smooth, then add the half-and-half. Simmer until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the mustard, Worcestershire sauce and House Seasoning. Gradually add the cheese and stir until smooth. Season to taste. Serve the pretzel bites with the beer cheese.
- Stir together the garlic and onion powders, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Store in an airtight container.
Tips:
- Use a kitchen scale: This will ensure that you accurately measure your ingredients, which is essential for successful baking.
- Don't overwork the dough: If you overwork the dough, it will become tough. Mix until the ingredients are just combined.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place: This will help it to double in size.
- Bake the pretzels in a hot oven: This will give them a crispy exterior and a soft interior.
- Serve the pretzels with your favorite dipping sauce: Mustard, cheese, or beer cheese are all popular choices.
Conclusion:
Pretzel bites are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or appetizer. They are perfect for parties or gatherings, and they can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create these delicious treats that are sure to be a hit.
