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 active dry yeast that is not expired. This will ensure that your pretzels rise properly.
- Dissolve the yeast in warm water (105-115°F) before adding it to the flour. This will help to activate the yeast and get the fermentation process started.
- Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic. This will help to develop the gluten in the dough, which will give your pretzels their chewy texture.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size. This will give the yeast time to produce carbon dioxide, which will create air pockets in the dough and give your pretzels their light and fluffy texture.
- Before baking, dip the pretzels in a baking soda solution. This will help to give them their characteristic brown color and crispy crust.
- Serve the pretzels warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as beer cheese spread.
