Time 42m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lb. frozen pizza dough, thawed
1/4 cup flour
3/4 cup baking soda
1 egg
1 Tbsp. water
1 Tbsp. kosher salt
1/2 lb. (8 oz.) VELVEETA, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 can (10 oz.) Ro*Tel® Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies, undrained
1/2 cup beer, such as a Mexican Lager
2 tsp. LEA & PERRINS Worcestershire Sauce
1/2 tsp. dry mustard

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425°F.
  • Pretzels
  • Cover 2 baking sheets with parchment; spray with cooking spray.
  • Place pizza dough on lightly floured work surface. Cut into 24 equal pieces. Roll each into 5-inch-long rope, then tie into loose knot as shown in photo. Place on prepared baking sheets. Cover with clean dish towels; set aside.
  • Bring 12 cups (3 qt.) water to boil in Dutch oven. Add baking soda; whisk until blended. Cover additional baking sheet with paper towels.
  • Add dough, in small batches, to boiling water; cook 30 sec. to 1 min. or until dough floats to surface. Use slotted spoon to transfer dough to paper towel-covered baking sheet; let stand 1 min. to drain before returning to parchment-covered baking sheets, placing knots 2 inches apart.
  • Beat egg with 1 Tbsp. water until blended; brush onto dough. Sprinkle with salt.
  • Bake 18 to 22 min. or until pretzels are golden brown. Transfer to wire racks.
  • Beer Queso
  • Microwave queso ingredients in microwaveable bowl on HIGH 3 min.; stir. Continue to microwave and stir in 1-min. intervals until VELVEETA is completely melted and queso is well blended.
  • Serve with pretzel knots.
