Ingredients

Pretzel Dough:

  • 4½ cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 2¼ tsp Instant Yeast
  • 1 tbsp Brown Sugar
  • 5 tbsp Olive Oil
  • â…” cup Baking Soda for boiling
  • Coarse Salt

Spicy Beef & Cheese Filling:

  • 1 lb Lean Ground Beef or Ground Bison
  • ½ cup Shredded Gouda or White Cheddar
  • ½ tbsp Melinda's Fire Roasted Garlic & Habanero Pepper Sauce
  • 2 sprigs Fresh Thyme
  • 2 tsp Olive Oil
  • Melinda'sHabanero Honey Mustard Pepper Sauce for serving

Instructions

Pretzel Dough:

  • In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the instant yeast and brown sugar with 1 1/2 cups warm water. Set aside at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to let the yeast activate. 
  • In the meantime, mix the flour and salt together in the bowl of a stand mixer. 
  • Using the knead attachment, pour the activated yeast mixture into the flour mix. Add the olive oil, then knead for 8-10 minutes, or until smooth and pliable. 
  • Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp tea towel or Saran Wrap, then set aside in a warm environment to rise until doubled, about 1-2 hours. 

Spicy Beef & Cheese Filling:

  • Preheat oven to 425F. Line a large baking pan with parchment paper. 
  • Bring a large pot of water with 2/3 cup baking soda to a boil. 
  • Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Divide into 8 equally-sized portions. Roll out each portion into a 16-18" rope, then roll out thin-enough to place 1/8th beef mixture (about 1/3 cup) into the very center. Lightly wet the edges to press and seal together. 
  • Create a U-shape with the stuffed pretzel dough, then twist and cross ends to pinch at the bottom of the pretzel. 
  • Carefully boil each pretzel for 1 minute (if you can, try to flip halfway through). Place on the prepared baking pan.
  • Brush with an olive oil or egg wash. Garnish with coarse salt.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Let cool for 10 minutes. 
  • Serve warm with the honey mustard pepper sauce!
