Add the oil and mustard and then pour in the buttermilk mixture. Mix in the stand mixer on low speed until combined, then scrape the bowl and dough hook. Mix on low speed until smooth and stretchy, 3 to 4 minutes. If the dough looks very sticky or isn't coming away from the sides of the bowl into one mass during the first minute of mixing, add up to an additional 2 tablespoons of flour.

Transfer to a small bowl, top with the reserved 1 teaspoon scallions, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve so the flavors can meld.
• To form the pretzel twists: Roll 1 portion of dough into a 10- to 12-inch rope and then loosely twist 3 to 4 times, sealing the ends with a touch of water. Use as little flour as possible when rolling. Place the twists on the two greased and parchment-lined half sheet pan, 6 twists per sheet pan.
