Ingredients (16)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Main ingredients<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0coarse salt, for sprinkling<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a03 pounds (1 and 1\/3 kilograms)<\/strong>\u00a0second-cut brisket<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a03 pounds (1 and 1\/3 kilograms)<\/strong>\u00a0pizza dough, room temperature<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a01 cup\u00a0<\/strong>ketchup<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a01\/2 cup<\/strong>\u00a0brown sugar<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a01 tablespoon <\/strong> apple cider vinegar<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a01 tablespoon\u00a0<\/strong>garlic powder<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a01 tablespoon\u00a0<\/strong>hot paprika<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a01 cup<\/strong>\u00a0dark lager or your favorite beer (I don\u2019t have a favorite beer, but this helps make it really soft)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a02 ounces (55 grams)<\/strong>\u00a0liquid smoke (optional<\/em>\u00a0but recommended)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a01\/2 cup<\/strong>\u00a0baking soda<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a02 cups\u00a0<\/strong>hot water<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dipping Sauce<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\u00a01\/4 cup <\/strong>dijon mustard<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a01\/4 cup<\/strong>\u00a0dark lager<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a01 tablespoon<\/strong> honey<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a01 tablespoon<\/strong>\u00a0maple syrup<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start Cooking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Prepare the Meat<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Preheat oven to 325\u00b0F (170\u00b0C). Combine ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, garlic powder, paprika, beer, and liquid smoke. Pour over the brisket and cover tightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bake for three hours or until the brisket is extremely tender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using two forks, shred the beef and return to the sauce.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the beef is in the oven, spread the baking soda on a baking sheet and bake for an hour, then cool and store in an airtight container (this will keep for several weeks). This will amp up the alkalinity of the baking soda to create that pretzel-y crust on the dough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: <\/strong>The brisket can be made a day or two in advance<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip:<\/strong> Most commercial food companies use lye (sodium hydroxide) on their dough to get that real pretzel-y flavor. It has extremely high alkalinity, which is a necessary component of the Maillard reaction, otherwise known as browning, but it\u2019s so strong that it is dangerously corrosive, so definitely not safe for home use. The best way to mimic that flavor is to increase the alkalinity in an alkaline product regularly used at home \u2014 baking soda. Baking your baking soda increases its potency in a safe and delicious way. Don\u2019t skip this step for true pretzel flavor!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prepare the Pretzels<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Raise oven temperature to 350\u00b0F (180\u00b0C). Divide the dough into 12 pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roll each piece out to a thin 3×10-inch rectangle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lay a narrow strip of meat down the length of the dough and cover, forming a long rope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Form a U shape, then fold the edges down over the base of the U to form a pretzel shape. Continue with all 12 pieces of dough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Place pretzels on two baking sheets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combine the baked baking soda and two cups of hot water (some of the baking soda will clump, just stir well), and then brush onto the pretzels. Dab excess water off, then sprinkle with salt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bake for about 20 minutes, or until well browned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combine sauce ingredients and serve alongside pretzels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Variation:<\/strong>Alternately, divide the dough into smaller pieces (about eight pieces per pound). Stretch each piece out and stuff with meat, then pinch underneath to form a ball for “pretzel bombs.” Proceed as above.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
