Toppings

Method

Pretzel Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add melted butter and the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead Dough

    Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    Let Dough Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Dill Pickle Cream Cheese Filling Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, chopped dill pickles, fresh dill, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Shape Pretzels

  1. 6

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 7

    Divide and Shape

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope (about 24 inches long), and twist it into a pretzel shape.

  3. 8

    Fill Pretzels

    Take each pretzel shape and carefully place about 1 tablespoon of the dill pickle cream cheese filling in the center before folding the ends over to seal.

Baking Soda Bath

  1. 9

    Prepare Bath

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add baking soda carefully and stir to dissolve.

  2. 10

    Boil Pretzels

    Carefully place each filled pretzel into the boiling baking soda bath for about 30 seconds, then remove and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Baking and Finishing Touches

  1. 11

    Bake Pretzels

    Sprinkle the boiled pretzels with kosher salt and dill weed. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

  2. 12

    Cool and Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Twisted Bee Creamy Dill Pickle Pretzels!
