Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups warm water
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 package active dry yeast
- 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 cups water
- 1/4 cup baking soda
- 1 large egg yolk beaten with 1 tablespoon water
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups warm water, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 2 teaspoons kosher salt. Sprinkle 1 package of active dry yeast on top and let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.
- Add 4 1/2 cups of flour and mix until the dough comes together. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 5 minutes until smooth. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 1/4 cup baking soda and reduce the heat to a simmer.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope and shape into a pretzel. Dip each pretzel into the simmering water for 30 seconds, then place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the pretzels with the beaten egg yolk and water mixture. Bake for 12-14 minutes until golden brown.
- In a small saucepan, melt 1/4 cup unsalted butter over medium heat. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese until smooth.
- In a bowl, mix together 1 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, and the garlic parmesan mixture. Stir in 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the warm pretzels with the garlic parmesan dip and enjoy!
