Steps:
- 1) In the bowl of a standing mixer, add four cups of flour, salt, sugar and yeast, give it a stir then add the water and butter, knead on medium speed for 3-5 minutes or until a dough forms, if the dough feels too wet to the touch (tacky is ok, just not wet) slowly sprinkle in the remaining flour a little at a time. 2) Once the dough comes together, knead it into a ball and place it in an oiled bowl (don't forget to oil the top as well) and let it rise until doubled in size (if not even a bit more). 3) Deflate the risen dough onto a lightly floured surface, divide it into 8 equal pieces then cover them and let them rest for 10 minutes, while they rest, prep the water bath and preheat your oven to 450 degrees. 4) Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. Fill a Dutch oven with the water and bring to a boil, while it comes to a boil, form your pretzels. 5) Take each piece of dough, roll into a 14-18” rope, then form your pretzel (watch video to see how I do this because it's a bit confusing to explain here) place them on one of the prepared baking sheets, once the water is up to a boil, add the baking soda and give it a stir. 6) Drop a few pretzels at a time, leave them in for 45 seconds, remove to the other prepared baking sheet and continue with the rest. 7) Brush the egg all over the top of the pretzels, sprinkle with the salt and bake on the top rack for 15 minutes or until deeply golden, while they bake, make the dip. 8) In a saucepan, add the butter, once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, then add the beer and milk, cook while constantly whisking until it thickens, then season with salt, pepper, mustard and Worcestershire sauce, then whisk in the cheese and cook while whisking until the cheese is fully melted. Set aside and serve with fresh warm pretzels.
BEER CHEESE DIP FOR PRETZELS RECIPE | CHEFDEHOME.COM
Homemade pretzels are incomplete without a pub-style cheese dip to dunk into. This beer cheese dip is so creamy and delicious that it will make every bite of homemade soft pretzels even more delicious.
I know you saw a glimpse of this cheese dip yesterday when I shared Soft Pretzels recipe. I decided to share Cheese Dip in separate post because this dip can also be served without pretzels. You can serve it baked soft potato wedges, tortilla chips, or add it over a rustic spinach artichoke pizza.
So I thought, for the versatility of this cheesy dip.... it sure needed a separate spot in my recipe cabinet. What do you say?
That being said, beer Cheese Sauce or dip is a classic pub-style accompaniment to soft pretzels. (a must have)
What I like the best? How easy it is to make Beer Cheese Sauce. It may sound complicated but really it is 10 minute recipe. Super easy!
I told you yesterday, pretzels take 10 minutes to bake in oven.. remember? My friends, by the time pretzels are out of the oven, the bubbling hot cheese sauce is ready to serve.
Honestly, it can't get easier than this. You can make cheese sauce up-to a day in advance too. It will still need 1-2 minute to dilute before serving as it gets thicker as it sits in refrigerator. What I suggest? Make fresh, you guys! Just 10 minutes is all it needs.
Beer or No Beer?
Even though a 1.5 cup cheese sauce needs just 1/4 cup of beer.... The flavor of Beer Cheese dip depends a lot... I mean A LOT, on flavor/taste of beer. Sweeter (pale and lite) the beer, sweeter the dip.... darker the beer - more intense will be the cheese dip. In simple words, if you love aroma and bitterness of beer? Use a darker beer or if you prefer less intense then use pale ale or any lite beers.
If you don't like beer, this cheese dip tastes good even without it. If not adding beer, add some extra liquid (apple cider or root beer) to adjust the thickness of sauce. (check recipe notes below for more details.)
To me it is also a good use of leftover beer. If we have a few bottles left after a party/game day, I prefer to save them for making beer-based foods. This is a once-in-a-while thingy so I'm always excited to use the leftovers for my foodie adventures. Like last year I shared Beer Braised Chicken Sausage with you.... it is still one of family favorite and often demanded when I have few beer bottles to spare. That being said, you don't need a lot of beer to make this cheese sauce, a cup and half batch needs about 1/4 cup beer. I like to make bigger batch if friends coming over or prepare two recipes which uses whole bottle of beer and nothing goes waste.
I still have a bottle left, let'me try and share something with you. Look for it in coming days. Back to cheese dip after boozy beer discussion.
Honestly, this Cheese Dip is very forgiving. There is nothing in here which can't be swapped which makes it my special favorite as I can adapt it to my refrigerator's resources. You know what I mean ;) Other than beer, one most common swapped ingredient is : cheese. One month it is soft white cheddar and goat cheese and other time leftover sharp cheddar and cream cheese. Just throw in there and enjoy!
Most pub-style beer cheese dips only rely on flavor of cheese and beer. I go an extra-step and spice-up things a bit. A few simple pantry condiments can enhance the richness of creamy cheese such as my favorite are Worcestershire sauce, mustard, Tabasco, some fresh chopped parsley, chopped dill pickle or jalapeno, and lemon pepper. All of these are optional as cheese dip has bold beer flavor which is good on it's own... though I recommend trying Tabasco, pickle and parsley for hot spicy rich tangy cheese dip.. if you please. :)
Now, I can steal this line from Ree Redmond - thank you for listening. :)
