Easy Pizza Dough Pretzels

Ingredients:

Pretzels

• 350 g pizza dough
• 0.5 cups of baking soda
• 1 large egg

Creamy mustard dip

• 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
• 1/3 cup sour cream
• 1.5 teaspoons of honey

Preparation:

1. Creamy mustard dip:
   
   Mix mustard, sour cream, and honey. Season with salt to taste. Transfer to a small serving bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
2. Preheat oven to 220°C. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
3. Pretzels:
   
   Bring 3 liters of water to a boil in a large saucepan. Divide the pizza dough into four pieces and roll each piece into a rope with a diameter of 2 cm. Cut each rope into pieces approximately 2.5 cm long.
4. When the water boils, add the baking soda and stir. Drop half the dough into the water and boil for 45 seconds. Transfer the scalded dough to paper towels. Repeat with the remaining dough. Lightly pat the dough dry with a paper towel.
5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Beat the egg in a small bowl with 1.5 tablespoons of water.
6. Dip each piece of dough into the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off, then place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2.5 cm apart. Lightly sprinkle the tops with salt and bake until richly golden, 13-15 minutes.
7. Serve pretzels warm with creamy mustard sauce.
