  • 1 tbsp butter optional

Baking soda/water "bath"

  • 3 cups water
  • 2 tbsp baking soda

Cheese Sauce

  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1 cup milk of choice
  • ½ cup beer or 1/3 – ½ cup additional milk
  • 1 ½ tbsp Judee's All Purpose Gluten Free Bread Mix
  • 2 tbsp Judee’s Gouda Chees Powder optional
  • 1 tbsp spicy brown mustard
  • 1 tsp worcestershire sauce
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Add in greek yogurt and combine until dough-like
  • Sprinkle flour on a cutting board, take about 1/4 of the dough, and roll into a long rope about 1 1/2″ thick. Cut into 1-1 1/2 inch pieces. Repeat with the remainder of the dough. Should make ~48 pretzel bites!
  • Bring water and baking soda to a boil, drop in 8-10 pieces at a time for 10 seconds, then scoop out with a slotted spoon.
  • Spread out evenly on non-stick baking sheet. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with sea salt or pretzel salt. Bake for 12-15 minutes.
  • While baking, make the cheese sauce. In a sauce pan, melt butter in a saucepan over medium low heat. Add in the flour until well combined. Next, add in the milk, cheese, mustard, worschester sauce, garlic powder and onion powder. Mix until cheese is fully melted.
  • Optional: brush the pretzel bites with melted butter and broil for 1-4 minutes, watching closely so they don’t burn. Top with more sea salt or pretzel salt
