Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 9 frozen Rhodes roll dough, thawed
- 10 cups water
- 2/3 cup baking soda
- 1 large egg yolk
- 3 tbsp water
- 1 pinch kosher salt
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 bottle (12 oz) light beer (lager or pilsner)
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp paprika
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 4 strips thick-cut bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 1/2 cups sharp white cheddar cheese, shredded, divided
- 1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded, divided
- Chives, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Lightly spray a large (12-inch) oven-safe skillet with nonstick spray. Set parchment paper on a work surface.
- Cut each thawed roll into half to create 18 small dough balls and set them on the parchment paper.
- In a large pot, bring 10 cups of water and baking soda to a boil. Add dough pieces, about 5–6 at a time, and boil for 30 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to the skillet.
- Brush each dough ball with an egg wash made from the egg yolk and 3 tbsp of water, then sprinkle with salt. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for about 1 minute.
- Whisk in flour, then slowly add beer and whisk until smooth. Add mustard, paprika, cream cheese, and most of the crumbled bacon (reserve 2 tbsp for topping). Stir frequently until smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup each of white cheddar and sharp cheddar cheese, reserving ½ cup of each for topping. Stir until smooth.
- Pour the cheese mixture into the skillet’s center, surrounded by the pretzel rolls. Top with remaining cheese and bacon.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes or until rolls are golden brown and cheese is bubbling.
- Let rest for 5 minutes to thicken, then garnish with chives.
