What goes together better than beer and pretzels? Not much that I can think of. That's why I put them together into one recipe. I'm always looking for new ways to combine fun flavors. I love the way this recipe turned out! -Alyssa Wilhite, Whitehouse, Texas

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 bottle (12 ounces) amber beer or nonalcoholic beer

I'm allergic to wheat, so I used gluten-free flour in the dough. The pretzels turned out just as good as the regular ones. I was so happy to be able to enjoy these delicious pretzels!

I used a dark beer in the dough and it gave the pretzels a nice malty flavor. I would definitely recommend using a dark beer if you like a more robust flavor.

I added some grated Parmesan cheese to the dough and it was delicious! It gave the pretzels a cheesy flavor that my whole family loved.
