Giving the pretzels a wee bath in lye (sodium hydroxide) helps to speed up the Maillard reaction, which gives the pretzels that lovely brown colour and chew. Some pretzel recipes will have you use lye to soak the pretzels in.The cheese sauce can be easily reheated, making preparing it ahead of time super easy. You can either prepare the dough the night before, or make the day of, and can shape it into whatever shape you like (I tested a bunch of things, from rolls to hotdog shaped buns, to sticks to bites) - whatever you prefer to use as a vessel to get as much cheese sauce in your mouth in one go. The pretzels come together super easily - a little bit of beer in the dough adds another depth of flavour. Land O Lakes® Deli American makes things super easy and delicious - it is sliced fresh at the deli, which makes for a fairly epic cheese sauce. A lot of people find pretzels a little intimidating, but I promise once you have made them once, you won’t be able to stop, especially when they are paired with this cheesy dipping sauce. I decided to keep my ‘Sandwich’ simple to really highlight how delicious the Land O Lakes® Deli American Cheese is, and make pretzels, and a super cheesy, stringy, mustardy dipping sauce to go alongside. So when The Feedfeed and Land O’Lakes® asked me to make a Sandwich using their Deli American inspired by my hometown (NYC), I knew it had to have a cheesy dip situation, and include my fave NYC carb, pretzels.
The Best Cheese Pretzel Dip with a Special Ingredient I had one for the first time the day I landed in NYC, and it’s been a long-term committed relationship ever since. New York and I are getting there, but soft pretzels with cheese sauce and I were love at first sight. There was also this weird feeling of guilt - that I should be having the time of my life living in my dream city, yet somehow, I wasn’t. It took me a long time to make friends that were ‘mine’, rather than just Richard’s friends, and I found it really hard being away from home, and finding a new routine in this big, strange city. I moved here four years ago, chasing a two-year long-distance relationship (which worked out for the best!), and kind of expected to just instantly fit in. It has taken me a really, really long time to properly fall in love with New York.
