These easy homemade pretzels are golden on the outside, soft on the inside, and topped with natural sea salt.
Ingredients
500g plain Greek yoghurt
1 pack Beer Bread Mix of your choice
¼ cup baking soda
1 egg, whisked (for egg wash)
Khoisan Natural Salt, for topping
Method
Preheat your oven to 180°C and line a large baking tray with baking paper.
Mix the Greek yoghurt and beer bread mix in a large bowl until a crumbly dough forms. Use your hands to bring the mixture together into a large sticky dough ball.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead until it is tacky but no longer sticky. Divide into eight equal portions.
Roll each portion into a rope approximately 30cm long, then twist into a pretzel shape. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Add 4 cups of water and the baking soda to a medium saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer. The water should be deep enough to fully submerge a pretzel.
Carefully lower one pretzel into the simmering water for around 30 seconds.
Remove with a slotted spoon and place onto the prepared baking tray. Repeat with the remaining pretzels.
Brush each pretzel generously with the whisked egg and sprinkle with Khoisan Natural Salt.
Bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until the pretzels are cooked through and the crust is a deep golden brown.

Ingredients
6 tbsp crème fraîche
1 tbsp True Origin Honey Mustard
Freshly ground rainbow pepper
Method
Mix the crème fraîche and honey mustard together in a small bowl until smooth.

Chill until ready to serve.
