Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cup warm water
  • 1 packet active dry yeast
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 4 1/2 cups flour
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1/2 cup baking soda
  • melted butter & salt to top
  • 2 tbsp salted butter
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 tsp yellow mustard
  • 1/2 cup beer (I used Stella )
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp red chili flakes
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

  1. 1

    In a large mixing bowl, add the sugar & salt to your warm water and whisk to combine. The water should be between 120-130 degrees. So annoying, but that's the rules in baking I guess. Add your yeast and let it sit until it foams (like 5 min). Honestly, mine didn't foam that much and pretzels were still great so don't stress.

  2. 2

    In a medium saucepan, melt your butter. Whisk in the flour then slowly add your milk (about a tablespoon at a time to prevent it from clumping).
