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

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 pretzels.

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 bottle (12 ounces) amber beer or nonalcoholic beer
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
4 to 4-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
10 cups water
2/3 cup baking soda
TOPPING:
1 large egg yolk
1 tablespoon water
Coarse salt, optional

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, heat beer to 110°-115°; remove from heat. Stir in yeast until dissolved. In a large bowl, combine butter, sugar, 1-1/2 teaspoons salt, yeast mixture and 3 cups flour; beat on medium speed until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky)., Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour., Preheat oven to 425°. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide and shape into 8 balls. Roll each into a 24-in. rope. Curve ends of each rope to form a circle; twist ends once and lay over opposite side of circle, pinching ends to seal., In a Dutch oven, bring water and baking soda to a boil. Drop pretzels, 2 at a time, into boiling water. Cook 30 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain well on paper towels., Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. In a small bowl, whisk egg yolk and water; brush over pretzels. Sprinkle with coarse salt if desired. Bake until golden brown, 10-12 minutes. Remove from pans to a wire rack to cool. , Freeze option: Freeze cooled pretzels in freezer containers. To use, thaw at room temperature or microwave each pretzel on high until heated through, 20-30 seconds.

These pretzels are amazing! I followed the recipe exactly, and they turned out perfectly. The dough was easy to work with, and the pretzels baked up beautifully. I will definitely be making these again.

I've tried a lot of different pretzel recipes, but this one is by far the best. The pretzels are soft, chewy, and have the perfect amount of salt. I highly recommend this recipe.

I'm not a big fan of pretzels, but these ones are actually really good. They're not too salty, and the dough is really soft and chewy. I'll definitely be making these again.

I love these pretzels! They're so soft and fluffy on the inside, and the crust is perfectly crispy. I also love the salty, slightly tangy flavor. I've made these pretzels several times now, and they're always a hit.
