Pretzel Dough
Provolone Fondue
Pretzel Preparation
1. Make the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, brown sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until bubbly. Stir in salt and flour until a dough forms. Knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.
2. Let the Dough Rise
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
3. Shape the Pretzels
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Divide the dough into 8 pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope and shape into pretzel form.
4. Boil the Pretzels
In a large pot, bring 10 cups of water and baking soda to a boil. Boil each pretzel for about 30 seconds, then remove with a slotted spoon and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Bake
Sprinkle pretzels with sea salt and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
Fondue Preparation
1. Make the Fondue
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine cream, minced garlic, and white wine. Heat until simmering.
2. Add Cheese
Gradually stir in provolone cheese, mixing until melted and smooth. Add black pepper and nutmeg for flavor.
3. Serve
Transfer the cheese mixture to a fondue pot or serving bowl and serve warm alongside the soft pretzels.
