Instructions

1
|
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine the water, sugar, and yeast.
2
|
Add in the flours, melted butter, and salt. Mix on medium high spreed for about 5 minutes until smooth and passes the windowpane test.
3
|
Place the dough in a large lightly greased bowl, cover, and proof overnight in the fridge or in a warm environment for about one hour or until doubled in size.
4
|
Once the dough has proofed, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Line a second baking sheet with nine 4" individual parchment squares.
5
|
Divide the dough into 9 pieces, weighed about 85-90g.
6
|
To shape the pretzels, roll into a long, skinny rope (about 24" long). Take the two ends and cross them over each other three times, then bring the bottom U part of the dough over and pull the twist through to the top, slightly pressing the ends into the dough.
7
|
Transfer the shaped pretzel to an individual parchment square, and repeat with the rest of the dough.
8
|
Cover the pretzels and proof for about 30 minutes.
9
|
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F, and bring a pot of water to a simmer.
10
|
Once the pretzels have proofed, turn the water down to low heat and slowly add the baking soda.
11
|
Bathe the pretzels (about 2 at a time) for 30 seconds on each side, then place on baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
12
|
Brush each with an egg white and sprinkle with coarse salt.
13
|
Bake for about 12-15 minutes until deeply golden.
14
|
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour until a slightly thick roux forms.
15
|
Pour in the milk, stirring frequently until it comes to a simmer.
16
|
Whisk in the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dijon mustard.
17
|
Turn the heat down to low, and add in the cheddar, gruyère, and cream cheese. Mix frequently until melted and smooth.
18
|
Pour into a bowl, and top with Roland® Spicy Chili Onion Crisp.
19
|
Serve with the salted soft pretzels and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Master the Boiling Soda Bath 🧪
    Dissolve baking soda in boiling water just before use to create the proper pH level that gives pretzels their signature chewy, dark brown exterior and distinctive pretzel flavor.
  • Blend Your Cheese Dip Smoothly 🧈
    Melt cream cheese and butter together over low heat before adding shredded Gruyère and sharp cheddar to ensure a silky, lump-free dip with perfectly melted cheese throughout.
  • Proof Your Dough Perfectly ⏱️
    Allow the shaped pretzels to rise for exactly 30-45 minutes at room temperature until they're puffy but still hold their shape when gently poked—over-proofing causes them to lose definition during boiling.
  • Egg Wash and Salt Application 🥚
    Apply egg white wash immediately after removing pretzels from the boiling bath while still warm, then immediately sprinkle coarse pretzel salt so it adheres perfectly for maximum crunch and visual appeal.
  • Emulsify Your Cheese Dip 🥄
    Whisk in whole milk gradually while stirring constantly to create an emulsion that keeps the dip creamy and prevents separation, and finish with Dijon mustard and garlic powder for balanced, sophisticated flavor.
