No more malls means no more mall pretzels, but DIY is always an option 😆
The dough is homemade, but I didn't make it, my girlfriend did, I know it has yeast and flour 🤣 you can also use store bought premade pizza dough, I've done that before with good results.
Once the dough is ready, separate it into balls about the size you like to put in your mouth. Bring 12:1 water:baking soda to a boil and drop the balls for 45-60 seconds then drain your balls by racking them to let excess moisture drip off.
While your balls are still warm, rub them with butter, and bake at 420° until they brown. Remove, brush with butter again, and sprinkle with salt.
The queso I made while my balls baked. Heat some milk with red onion, garlic, red chilis, and jalapeños. When it starts to simmer add softened cream cheese….cold is fine too it just takes longer 😂…stir until it's smoothed then add shredded oaxaca (you'll probably have to buy a ball and shred it yourself), when it's all melted together season to taste with salt & pepper, cumin, paprika, chili powder, and oregano then enjoy with a smile of scallions 😁

That looks fabulous and I would eat at least four.
Fuck you this looks amazing. I dream of those soft buttery mall pretzels drenched in hot cheese like sauce. I live in Europe now and no offence Germany but your pretzels are mid.
thanks for posting. Gives me some great ideas .
Looks sooooo good! Also, malls are closed?
Homemade pretzel rolls/balls are amazing. Also, you read my mind, I am actually planning to make a batch of pretzel balls and rolls (and some bagels) later this week.
Your queso sounds great, I make mine with natural cheese as well (as opposed to processed cheese such as Velveeta, which I am not above using, it does have a place in my kitchen).
Well, I use probably 10%ish of Velveeta in mine. But, I also use a sharp cheddar (frequently in combination with other cheeses such as Monterey Jack, Queso Quesadilla, Oaxaca, but I use mostly sharp cheddar) and I don’t use any cream cheese.
If I’m low on energy, I just dump some (homemade with lots of cilantro and garlic) pico de gallo in the slow cooker with some grated cheddar and just a little bit of Velveeta. No milk. The pico provides sufficient liquid. I eyeball it, but I’d say I probably use about equal amounts of cheese and pico, by volume. Maybe like a quarter more cheese than pico.
I’ll take 100 of these immediately, thank you!!!! 🤩 🥨 You are a pretzel god!
Hot damn! Winner winner that’s what I’m making for dinner

Those (and the queso) look really good.
Your balls look delicious and I would like to put them in my mouth hole.
