Creamy Cheesy Beer Sauce
3TBSP all purpose flour
1/2CUP beer (whatever kind you want)
1CUP cream
1TSP each grainy mustard & Worcestershire sauce
1/2TSP garlic powder, salt, pepper, parsley, & cayenne
3 cups shredded cheese your choice (we used 1CUP swiss & 2CUPS marble)
Salted Pretzels & Pizza Pretzels
2TBSP brown sugar
3TSP salt, plus extra large Corse salt for sprinkling ontop
2TSP yeast
9CUPS all-purpose flour, plus more for work area if needed
4TBSP melted butter or margarine
1CUP each pizza sauce, pepperoni, & grated mozzarella
9CUPS water
1/2CUP baking soda
1 large egg, whisk
Mix together the warm milk, sugar and salt. Sprinkle the yeast on top, and wait 5 minutes for the yeast to bubble up.
Add your flour to a big bowl and make a well in the centre of flour. Pour your yeast mixture in centre and melted butter all around. Mix well. Knead for 3-4 minutes til smooth. You can use a stand mixer. I just use my hands. Cover dough ball and bowl with a little bit of oil, cover bowl and let rise about 1 hour til double in size.
This recipe makes 24 regular size Pretzels. We made 12 salted and 8 larger pizza ones. This recipe can definitely be cut in half.
Combine the water and baking soda in large pot, bring to boil and then reduce heat. I can usually get about 2-3 pretzels in pot at a time depending on their size. Light boil each pretzels about 30 seconds.
After you boil them, lay out on non stick cooking sheet on a large cookie pan. Brush the egg wash on and sprinkle the coarse salt ontop.
For Pizza ones, after done boiling them, put on lined cookie sheet, put pizza sauce all around them, then pepperoni then top with cheese.
Lucky saids, pretzel and cheese sauce gimme gimme.
Queso Dip
1/2CUP diced red onion
1-2TBSP minced garlic
Couple TBSP’s diced Chilis or jalapenos
2CUPS milk
3CUPS cheese of your choice
(We used: 1/2CUP mascarpone, 1CUP Velveeta & 1 1/2CUPS mozza)
I had put the flour in the pan for the picture but I didn’t cook it with the stuff right away, I took it out of the pan. Pan fry up the onions, garlic, peppers, & butter. Just til veggies become soft. Then add in your flour cook, low heat just a couple minutes.
