Pretzel Dough

Garlic Butter

Ranch Dipping Sauce

Method

Pretzel Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

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

  2. 2

    Make Dough

    Add the flour and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms, then knead for about 5-7 minutes on a floured surface until smooth.

  3. 3

    Rise

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

Shaping and Boiling Pretzels

  1. 4

    Shape Pretzel Sticks

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long stick, about 12 inches long.

  2. 5

    Boil Pretzels

    In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water to a boil and add baking soda. Boil each pretzel stick for about 30 seconds, then remove and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Baking and Finishing Pretzels

  1. 6

    Bake

    Bake the pretzel sticks in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

  2. 7

    Prepare Garlic Butter

    While the pretzels are baking, melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan. Add minced garlic and parsley, stirring until fragrant. Season with salt.

  3. 8

    Brush with Garlic Butter

    Remove the pretzels from the oven and immediately brush them with the garlic butter mixture.

Ranch Dipping Sauce Preparation

  1. 9

    Mix Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

  2. 10

    Chill

    Cover the ranch sauce and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
