Soft Pretzels

Pretzels are a fermented grain food. Soft pretzels have a unique flavor and texture due to their shape and the process of boiling them in a baking soda bath prior to baking.

The traditional twisted pretzel shape was invented by monks to represent the image of hands folded in prayer. The shape also looks like arms folded across a heart. This unique shape is recognized worldwide as a tasty treat.

Soft Pretzels are great all by themselves and they're even better with a tasty dipping sauce or as the bread portion of a sandwich.

Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce

2 Tablespoons grainy mustard
2 teaspoons honey, or to taste
1/2 cup ranch dressing

Combine ingredients and stir until smooth. The dip may be served right away but it will be even better if you chill it for an hour or two to allow the flavors to blend.

This dip is best served with Beer Pretzel recipe.
For the Twisted Mary Pretzels, substitute ¼ cup blue cheese crumbles and 1-2 teaspoons hot sauce for the mustard and honey.
