Pretzel Ring With Cream Cheese Mustard Dip Recipes

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!

PRETZEL RING WITH CREAM CHEESE MUSTARD DIP

Steps:

• Place 10 frozen rolls on a baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper that has been sprayed with non-stick spray. Allow. rolls to thaw and rise for 3 hours. I put mine in the cold oven with the door closed. Give them plenty of room to rise and expand.
• After 3 hours, preheat the oven to 350°F. Cut each ball of dough in half and make two small balls. Cut a shallow "x" on top of each ball.
• Bring the water and baking soda to a boil in a small saucepan (you are using a small saucepan so that the rolls will float and have room to flip). Add 4-5 balls and cook for 1 minute, gently rotating halfway through. Use a slotted spoon to remove each ball and set them on a rack to drain (I used a cooling rack on top of a baking sheet). Continue until you have cooked all of the balls in the baking soda mixture.
• Take each dough ball and place them around the edge of the cast-iron skillet. Beat the egg to make a quick egg wash and brush it on top of the dough balls. Sprinkle with coarse salt.
• Place the cream cheese, Monterey jack cheese, cream, and salt into a large mixing bowl. Mix everything on the lowest speed of a hand mixer or by hand with a whisk and some elbow grease.
• Pour the cheese mixture in the middle of the dough balls into the skillet. Bake in the oven for 32-35 minutes.
• Once the pretzels are nice and brown and the cheese is bubbly, remove the skillet from the oven and add a ring of the stone-ground mustard on top of the cheese next to the pretzels. Be careful, it's HOT! Serve immediately and enjoy!
