soft pretzel topped with crab dip & cheese

In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. Stir in olive oil and salt, then gradually add flour until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour.

Make the Pretzel Dough

In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, crab meat, garlic powder, lemon juice, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Prepare the Crab Dip

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). After the dough has risen, divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope, twist into a pretzel shape, and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Shape the Pretzels

In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water to a boil and add baking soda. Boil each pretzel for about 30 seconds, turning halfway. Remove and place back on the baking sheet.

Boil Pretzels

Bake the pretzels in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.

Bake the Pretzels

Top each baked pretzel with a generous amount of crab dip and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top. Return to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Assemble the Crab Pretzel

Remove from the oven, garnish with parsley, and serve warm.
