3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons corn starch
½ cup beer, Plus 2 additional Tbsp.
1 lb pizza dough
5 cups water
¼ cup baking soda
1 egg
coarse salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Slice a small piece of your pizza dough, roll it into a ball then flatten it out.

  • In a medium saucepan, bring ½ cup (120 ml) of beer to a simmer.
  • Add in the cheese and corn starch mixture and whisk until it begins to thicken. Once thick, take off the heat.

  • Bring five cups of water to a boil in a medium pot. When you've finished putting together your pretzel bites, add the baking soda to the water and immediately scoop in your pretzel bites. Boil for 20-30 seconds,

BEER CHEESE AND SOFT PRETZEL BITES



Beer Cheese and Soft Pretzel Bites image

Categories     appetizer

Time 55m

Yield 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 pound bakery pizza dough
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1/2 cup baking soda
2 tablespoons sugar
1 large egg yolk
Pretzel salt or coarse kosher salt, for sprinkling
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Half a 12-ounce can lager beer (I like LO-Fi Brewing)
1/2 cup half-and-half
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Pinch Miss Brown's House Seasoning, recipe follows
1 1/2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

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.

BEER CHEESE-STUFFED PRETZELS

Provided by Food.com

Categories     Breads

Time 55m

Yield 8 pretzels

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup warm water
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 1/4 teaspoons dry active yeast
1 cup beer
1 teaspoon salt
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
8 ounces cheddar cheese
1 garlic clove, peeled
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 ounces beer
1 tablespoon heavy cream
1 cup boiling water
3 tablespoons baking soda
1 large egg
1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
1 scallion, finely sliced

Steps:

  • For the dough:.
  • Melt the butter in a small pot over a low heat. Once melted, remove from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.
  • Combine the warm water, light brown sugar and yeast in bowl of stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Let sit for 5 minutes until bubbly.
  • Add the cooled melted butter, beer, flour and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix on a low speed until combined to prevent the flour flying out of the bowl. Once you get a shaggy dough, increase the speed to medium and leave to knead the dough for 6 minutes. If the dough is looking too wet and is sticking to the side of the bowl, add extra all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough is smooth and only slightly sticky.
  • Remove the bowl from the mixer and pour in 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Lift the dough up and turn it to coat with oil - this will prevent it sticking to the bowl. Cover with a damp tea towel and let sit somewhere warm until doubled in volume, about 1 to 2 hours.
  • For the filling:.
  • Combine the cheese, garlic, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, beer and cream in a food processor and blend until smooth.
  • Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a large circular tip and set aside.
  • To assemble:.
  • Tip the risen dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Punch down and divide into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball.
  • Take one ball and roll out into a snake about 20 inches long with your hands. Use a lightly floured rolling pin to roll this into a rectangle about 3 inches wide. Pipe a narrow strip of the beer cheese filling along the length of dough. Fold the dough in half along its length to seal the filling inside, pinching it together at the top firmly and giving it a gentle roll with your hands to smooth the snake out.
  • Repeat with the rest of the balls.
  • Take the two ends of each filled snake and bring them up to form a 'U' shape. Cross the ends over each other then fold down over the base of the 'U' to make a pretzel shape. Repeat with the remaining dough snakes so you have 8 pretzels.
  • Place the shaped pretzels onto two baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
  • Mix the boiling water and baking soda in a medium bowl (it may fizz up when you do this). Use a pastry brush to brush the solution over the shaped pretzels - make sure you keep stirring the solution as you do this as the baking soda will settle at the base of the bowl if you don't.
  • Crack the egg into a small bowl and beat lightly with a fork. Brush this over the pretzels too then sprinkle with the grated cheddar.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F as you let the pretzels sit for 15 minutes to rise slightly.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes until dark-golden (NOTE: some leakage of the filling is inevitable here so don't worry if some of it comes out on baking).
  • Let cool for 5 minutes, sprinkle with sliced scallion and serve with any leftover beer cheese for dipping (you can blend it with a bit more cream to make it into a dippable consistency).
  • NOTE: to reheat pretzels, heat for 15 minutes in 350 degrees F oven.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality beer for the cheese sauce. A dark beer will give the sauce a richer flavor, while a light beer will result in a lighter, more delicate sauce.
  • Shred your own cheese. Pre-shredded cheese often contains additives that can prevent it from melting smoothly.
  • Don't overstuff the pretzels. If you put too much filling in them, they will be difficult to seal and will burst open when they are baked.
  • Bake the pretzels until they are golden brown. This will ensure that the cheese sauce is melted and bubbly and that the pretzels are cooked through.
  • Serve the pretzels warm with your favorite dipping sauce. Mustard, ketchup, or ranch dressing are all good options.

Conclusion:

Beer cheese stuffed pretzels are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or game day gatherings. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a tasty treat that everyone will love. So next time you are looking for a new recipe to try, give these beer cheese stuffed pretzels a try.
