Pretzel Ring Beer Cheese Dip Recipes

BEER PRETZELS WITH BEER CHEESE DIP RECIPE BY TASTY

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!

CHEESY PRETZEL RING DIP RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Cut pizza dough into 12 portions. Roll into balls.
• Boil water and add baking soda.
• NOTE: Make sure your pot is narrow enough that the water level covers the dough balls and make sure there's enough room left in the pot that it won't boil over when the baking soda is added.
• Place dough balls in the pot, boiling for 20-30 seconds in batches.
• Line a 10" (25 cm) skillet with the dough balls, making a ring along the outside edge.
• Scramble the egg and brush the dough balls with egg wash. Top with salt, to taste.
• Par-bake the dough for 15 minutes.
• While the dough is baking, combine the cream cheese, 1½ cups (150 g) of cheddar, sour cream, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder until smooth.
• Fill the center of the dip ring with the cheese dip. Top the dip and the dough balls with the remaining cheddar.
• Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes (or until the pretzel balls have browned and the dip has fully melted).
• Allow to cool before serving.
• Enjoy!
