Pretzel with Honey Mustard – A Perfect Snack Duo
A delightful combination of soft or hard pretzels served with a sweet and tangy honey mustard dip, perfect for snacking or entertaining.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/4 cup baking soda
- Coarse salt for topping
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
- Gradually mix in flour, salt, and melted butter. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic (about 8–10 minutes). Cover and let it rise for 1 hour.
- Punch down the risen dough and divide it into equal portions. Roll each piece into a rope and shape it into a traditional twist.
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. In a large pot, boil water and add baking soda. Briefly dip each pretzel into the solution for a shiny crust.
- Place the pretzels on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse salt. Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden brown.
- For the honey mustard dip, combine honey, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, and lemon juice. Mix well and chill before serving.
Notes
Ensure the dough rises in a warm, draft-free spot for optimal results. Experiment with different shapes for fun presentations.
