Soft Pretzel with Mustard Recipe

German · Appetizer · 45 min total

Classic soft pretzels with a golden, chewy exterior and a soft, airy interior, served with a tangy mustard dip. Perfect as a snack or appetizer.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups warm water (110°F)
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 cup baking soda
• 1 large egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon water
• Coarse sea salt for topping
• 1/4 cup yellow mustard
• 1/4 cup honey

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
2. Add flour, salt, and melted butter. Mix until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
3. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour until doubled.
4. Preheat oven to 450°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
5. Punch down dough and divide into 8 equal pieces. Roll each into a 24-inch rope. Shape into a pretzel by forming a U, crossing the ends, and pressing them onto the bottom of the U.
6. In a large pot, bring 10 cups of water to a boil. Add baking soda (carefully, it will bubble up). Boil each pretzel for 30 seconds per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on prepared baking sheets.
7. Brush each pretzel with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse salt.
8. Bake for 12-15 minutes until deep golden brown. Let cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
9. Mix mustard and honey in a small bowl. Serve pretzels warm with honey mustard dip.

Tips

• For a more authentic flavor, use pretzel salt or kosher salt.
• Pretzels are best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, place in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes.
