📝 Preparation Steps
1
HONEY MUSTARD DIP: Whisk all of the Dip ingredients together in a medium bowl. Set aside in the refrigerator.

2
PRETZEL DOUGH: Combine the water, sugar and yeast in the bowl of a standard mixer. Let sit ⏱️ 5 minutes. (If it doesn’t foam, start over)
cups warm water (110 to 115 degrees F)3/4water10 cupslarge egg yolk beaten with 1 tablespoon water1
3
Add salt, flour and butter and mix (using the dough hook attachment) on low speed for ⏱️ 5-7 minutes or until dough is smooth and elastic.
4
Remove the dough from the bowl, spray bowl with nonstick cooking spray. Return the dough to the bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a towel and let rise in a warm place for approximately 1 1/⏱️ 2 hours, or until the dough doubles in size.
5
PRETZEL MONKEY BREAD: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line roughly 18” of your counter with parchment paper (to place boiled pretzels later). Brush tube/bundt* pan with 1 tablespoon softened butter. Place tube pan on a foil lined baking sheet (to catch any escaping butter while baking - tube pan only).
6
Bring 10 cups of water and the baking soda to a rolling boil in a large (8-quart) saucepan.

7
In the meantime, turn out dough onto a lightly floured cutting board; pat and stretch into a 12 x 6 inch rectangle. Cut dough into 1-inch pieces (I think a pizza cutter is easiest).
8
Boil the pretzel bites in the baking soda water in batches of about 20 pretzel bites for ⏱️ 30 seconds per batch**. Remove pretzels with a large slotted spoon and place on parchment paper, making sure they are not touching.

9
Layer half of the pretzels in the prepared pan. Brush with some egg wash then drizzle with 1 tablespoon butter. Lightly season with sea salt. Repeat with remaining pretzel bites.

ANGEL FOOD CAKE PAN: Bake ⏱️ 30-35 minutes at 400 degrees F or until pretzels are golden and cooked through. You may need to cover some spots with foil the last ⏱️ 10 minutes of baking if tops are getting too brown. BUNDT PAN*: Bake ⏱️ 25-30 minutes at 400 degrees F or until pretzels are golden and cooked through. You may need to cover some spots with foil the last ⏱️ 10 minutes of baking if tops are getting too brown.
