Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons beer, we used an oktoberfest style lager
4.5 oz brie cheese
3.5 oz limburger cheese, or other strong flavored soft cheese like taleggio
½ pack cream cheese
½ yellow onion
½ tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon caraway seed
1 tablespoon fresh chives, minced
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
½ red onion, thinly sliced, optional
1 pack premade pizza dough
6 tablespoons beer, we used an oktoberfest-style lager
¾ cup flour
5 cups water
¼ cup baking soda
1 egg, beaten
½ teaspoon course sea salt

Steps:

  • Cut rind off soft cheeses while they are still chilled, then cut into cubes.
  • Blend cheeses with cream cheese with a fork then add the beer, spices, and diced onion and mix again. When well incorporated, stir in salt & pepper to taste. Chill.
  • Take pizza dough out of package and roll into a ball. In a large bowl, add beer and flour to the dough and mix with hands until firm and not sticky. Add more flour if needed.
  • Rip off a piece of dough and roll it into a 6-inch (15 cm) long log.
  • To form the pretzel, pull the ends of the log to the top of the circle. Twist the ends around each other once and bring them down to meet the bottom of the circle. Then transfer to a baking sheet. Repeat until all dough is used. Chill pretzels in the fridge for 20 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 425˚F (220˚C).
  • Bring the water to a boil in a medium pot. Add the baking soda to the water and immediately add pretzels.
  • Boil for 20-30 seconds, then take out and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Brush egg wash onto the top of each pretzel, then top with coarse salt.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until deep brown.
  • Before serving the beer cheese, garnish with sliced red onion, if desired. Cheese mixture can be used as dip or spread.
  • Enjoy!

BEER & CHEESE PRETZEL BITES RECIPE BY TASTY



Beer & Cheese Pretzel Bites Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: shredded cheddar cheese, corn starch, beer, pizza dough, water, baking soda, egg, coarse salt

Provided by Tasty

Categories     Snacks

Yield 12 balls

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons corn starch
½ cup beer, Plus 2 additional Tbsp.
1 lb pizza dough
5 cups water
¼ cup baking soda
1 egg
coarse salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Slice a small piece of your pizza dough, roll it into a ball then flatten it out.
  • Toss the cheddar cheese with the corn starch until it's evenly distributed.
  • In a medium saucepan, bring ½ cup (120 ml) of beer to a simmer.
  • Add in the cheese and corn starch mixture and whisk until it begins to thicken. Once thick, take off the heat.
  • NOTE: It may cool and become more solid over time, but don't worry! It will melt back down in the oven, so this is fine.
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Place a small spoonful of the beer cheese mixture in the center of the dough.
  • Pick up the top and bottom edges and bring them up and together. Do the same with the left and right edges. Continue bringing in the rest of the edges of the dough until it all meets in the center and there are no gaps for the cheese to leak out of during baking.
  • NOTE: You can pick up and twist the top of the dough to make sure everything is more secure.
  • Bring five cups of water to a boil in a medium pot. When you've finished putting together your pretzel bites, add the baking soda to the water and immediately scoop in your pretzel bites. Boil for 20-30 seconds,
  • Take out and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, combine one egg and two tablespoons of beer and beat with a fork until they are well blended.
  • Brush the mixture onto the top of each pretzel bite, then top with coarse salt.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes (or until they have browned).
  • Enjoy!

BEER CHEESE AND SOFT PRETZEL BITES



Beer Cheese and Soft Pretzel Bites image

This recipe uses one of maybe my favorite hacks ever! I take deli or bakery pizza dough and turn it into browned-and-crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside pretzel bites that beg to be dipped in a cheesy beer sauce. Serve these at your next tailgate or party and watch them disappear!

Categories     appetizer

Time 55m

Yield 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 pound bakery pizza dough
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1/2 cup baking soda
2 tablespoons sugar
1 large egg yolk
Pretzel salt or coarse kosher salt, for sprinkling
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Half a 12-ounce can lager beer (I like LO-Fi Brewing)
1/2 cup half-and-half
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Pinch Miss Brown's House Seasoning, recipe follows
1 1/2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Make the soft pretzel bites: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a cooling rack covered with paper towels.
  • Bring 8 cups of water to a boil in a large stockpot. (It may seem like a small amount of water for a large pot, but once you add baking soda it'll foam up.)
  • While the water comes to a boil, place the dough ball on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 4 equal pieces. Roll each portion into a long rope. Cut the ropes into 1-inch pieces.
  • When the water is boiling, add the baking soda and sugar. Cook the dough pieces, in batches, for 30 seconds. Drain on the paper towels.
  • Whisk together the egg yolk and 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl. Dip the tops of the pretzels in the egg wash and sprinkle with salt. Place on parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Bake until the pretzel bites are nicely browned, 9 to 10 minutes.
  • For the beer cheese: Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and cook until foamy, about 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the beer until the mixture is smooth, then add the half-and-half. Simmer until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the mustard, Worcestershire sauce and House Seasoning. Gradually add the cheese and stir until smooth. Season to taste. Serve the pretzel bites with the beer cheese.
  • Stir together the garlic and onion powders, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Store in an airtight container.
