Recipe: Pretzel Dip

June 24, 2019 Rachel Roades

Who doesn't love the smell of fresh bread baking? It's one of my favorite smells in the kitchen and I can never wait for the bread to fully cool before trying a piece of that fresh baked goodness.

To top it off, I found this recipe for homemade pretzel bread and I always have to double or triple it. My family loves when I make a batch to share.

Instead of dividing the dough into two balls, I pulled off about a tablespoon at a time to make pretzel bites. They took about 20 minutes in the oven and about half were gobbled up in the time it took me to upload and edit pictures. After (carefully!) dipping the dough in the baking soda water bath, I sprinkled these with our Basil Infused Sea Salt for an added pop of flavor.

Enough about pretzels (for now)...

How many of you attend the Lansdale Farmer's Market or follow it on social media? In case you missed it, Amazing Acres Goat Dairy has been experimenting with some delicious new flavored chevres, including our very own Smoked Onion Spread! It's incredibly delicious and selling out fast so get to the market early to get yours! In light of this delicious new treat, I thought I would use it as well as our Roasted Garlic Mustard to create the last flavor of the month recipe for June.

Ready for a warm, cheesy, flavorful snack? This will be great for game day, parties, appetizers, or just because you feel like it.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup + 1 tsp Small Batch Kitchen Roasted Garlic Mustard
4 oz Amazing Acres Smoked Onion Chevre (plain or garlic chevre would do as well)
1/2 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp local raw honey
1 tsp yellow mustard (optional)

Let the cheese sit out a bit to get to room temperature. Add all ingredients to mini crockpot or double boiler. It took about 30-45 minutes to get hot and melted. Keep a good eye on it so it doesn't burn.

If you have a mini crock for dips you can keep this hot for a party or dish out right before serving. If you don't have the time or desire to make the pretzels yourself, it's pretty easy to find some freshly baked to bring home.
