How to Make Chili Cheese Pretzels:
- Make the chili cheese mix by combining all the ingredients in a bowl. Add a couple of drops of water to make it a sticky mix. Leave aside.
- Warm the milk slightly, just until it is lukewarm (you should be able to put your finger in it).
- In a large bowl, lightly whisk in the yeast and let it sit for about 3 minutes.
- Stir in the melted butter and sugar, then add the salt followed by the flour, adding 100 g at a time until the dough has come together and isn’t sticky.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 mins until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, coat it with oil, and cover with cling film.
- Leave it in a warm place for 1 hour to rise until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 200 C and line a baking tray with baking paper and lightly grease with oil.
- In a separate bowl, combine the warm water and baking soda and put aside.
- Punch the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide into 10 equal pieces (approx 50 g each).
- Roll the dough out into thin logs and shape into pretzel shapes (google a video on this for ease). Then dip in the baking soda water and place on the baking paper. Fill the pretzel holes with the chili cheese mix and sprinkle the dough with sea salt.
- Bake for 7 mins or until browned. While still hot, brush each pretzel with butter.
