Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cups warm water (110 to 115 degrees F)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

- 1/2 cup mayonnaise

- 1 1/2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Instructions
- HONEY MUSTARD DIP: Whisk all of the Dip ingredients together in a medium bowl. Set aside in the refrigerator.
- PRETZEL DOUGH: Combine the water, sugar and yeast in the bowl of a standard mixer. Let sit 5 minutes. (If it doesn’t foam, start over).
- Add salt, flour and butter and mix (using the dough hook attachment) on low speed for 5-7 minutes or until dough is smooth and elastic.
- Remove the dough from the bowl, spray bowl with nonstick cooking spray. Return the dough to the bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a towel and pat and stretch into a 12 x 6 inch rectangle. Cut dough into 1-inch pieces.
- Boil the pretzel bites in the baking soda water in batches of about 20 pretzel bites for 30 seconds per batch. Remove pretzels with a large slotted spoon and place on parchment paper, making sure they are not touching.
- Layer half of the pretzels in the prepared pan. Brush with some egg wash then drizzle with 1 tablespoon butter. Lightly season with sea salt. Repeat with remaining pretzel bites.
- ANGEL FOOD CAKE PAN: Bake 30-35 minutes at 400 degrees F or until pretzels are golden and cooked through. You may need to cover some spots with foil the last 10 minutes of baking if tops are getting too brown.
- BUNDT PAN: Bake 25-30 minutes at 400 degrees F or until pretzels are golden and cooked through. You may need to cover some spots with foil the last 10 minutes of baking if tops are getting too brown.
- Loosen edges of bread with knife then invert onto a plate then invert again onto serving plate. Serve with Honey Mustard Dip.
Notes
- Make sure the water temperature is correct for the yeast to activate.
- Use a pizza cutter for easy cutting of the dough.
- The baking soda bath gives the pretzels their distinctive flavor and color.
