Easy shortcut pretzel knots topped with savory seasonings, served with a decadent creamy cheese dip.
Ingredients:
  • 5 cups water
  • 1/4 cup baking soda
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried chopped onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon poppy seed
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame seed
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 can (8 oz) Immaculate Baking Co.™ refrigerated organic crescent rolls
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons Immaculate Baking Co.™ organic all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 2 oz (from 8-oz package) cream cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese (6 oz)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 375°F and coat a large cookie sheet with cooking spray. In a 5-quart Dutch oven, bring 5 cups of water and baking soda to a boil over high heat.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon of water until fully combined. In another bowl, combine the onion, garlic, poppy seeds, sesame seeds, and salt until evenly mixed; set aside.
  • Unroll the dough on a work surface and separate it into 8 triangles. Roll each triangle loosely from the shortest side to the opposite point, bring the ends of the dough together, and pinch lightly. Repeat with the remaining triangles.
  • Drop 2 rolls at a time into bubbling soda water and cook for 30 seconds or until dough appears slightly puffy and dimpled. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with the rest of the rolls.
  • Transfer the rolls to a cookie sheet using a metal pancake turner, making sure to reshape them if needed. Lightly brush the tops with the egg mixture and sprinkle with the spice mixture.
  • Bake until a deep golden brown, then promptly transfer from the baking sheet.
  • In a 2-quart saucepan over medium-high heat, melt butter. Sprinkle flour over butter and stir for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk and stir for about 5 minutes until the mixture boils. Lower the heat to medium, stir in cream cheese until smooth. Add Cheddar cheese gradually, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly until melted. Stir in salt and serve the dip with pretzel knots.
