Categories     Snacks

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons beer, we used an oktoberfest style lager
4.5 oz brie cheese
3.5 oz limburger cheese, or other strong flavored soft cheese like taleggio
½ pack cream cheese
½ yellow onion
½ tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon caraway seed
1 tablespoon fresh chives, minced
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
½ red onion, thinly sliced, optional
1 pack premade pizza dough
6 tablespoons beer, we used an oktoberfest-style lager
¾ cup flour
5 cups water
¼ cup baking soda
1 egg, beaten
½ teaspoon course sea salt

Steps:

  • Cut rind off soft cheeses while they are still chilled, then cut into cubes.
  • Blend cheeses with cream cheese with a fork then add the beer, spices, and diced onion and mix again. When well incorporated, stir in salt & pepper to taste. Chill.
  • Take pizza dough out of package and roll into a ball. In a large bowl, add beer and flour to the dough and mix with hands until firm and not sticky. Add more flour if needed.
  • Rip off a piece of dough and roll it into a 6-inch (15 cm) long log.
  • To form the pretzel, pull the ends of the log to the top of the circle. Twist the ends around each other once and bring them down to meet the bottom of the circle. Then transfer to a baking sheet. Repeat until all dough is used. Chill pretzels in the fridge for 20 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 425˚F (220˚C).
  • Bring the water to a boil in a medium pot. Add the baking soda to the water and immediately add pretzels.
  • Boil for 20-30 seconds, then take out and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Brush egg wash onto the top of each pretzel, then top with coarse salt.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until deep brown.
  • Before serving the beer cheese, garnish with sliced red onion, if desired. Cheese mixture can be used as dip or spread.
  • Enjoy!

BEER CHEESE AND SOFT PRETZEL BITES



Beer Cheese and Soft Pretzel Bites image

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!

Provided by Kardea Brown

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.

Tips:

  • Use a digital scale to measure your ingredients for the most accurate results.
  • Make sure your water is warm to the touch, but not hot, before adding the yeast. If the water is too hot, it will kill the yeast and your pretzels won't rise.
  • Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help to develop the gluten in the dough and make your pretzels chewy.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will take about 1 hour.
  • To get that classic pretzel shape, roll the dough out into a long rope and then twist it into a U-shape. Bring the ends of the U-shape together and press them firmly to seal.
  • Before baking, dip the pretzels in a baking soda solution. This will give them a shiny brown crust.
  • Bake the pretzels in a hot oven until they are golden brown. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
  • Serve the pretzels warm with your favorite beer cheese spread.

Conclusion:

Pretzels and beer cheese spread is a classic combination that is perfect for any party or gathering. These pretzels are soft and chewy, with a slightly salty flavor that pairs perfectly with the creamy, cheesy spread. Whether you're a seasoned pretzel maker or a beginner, this recipe is sure to be a hit.
