Ingredients:

• 1½ cups cool water

• 1 tbsp. sugar

• 2 tsp. kosher salt

• 2¼ tsp. instant yeast

• 22 oz. all-purpose flour (about 4½ cups)

• 4 tbsp. unsalted butter melted, cooled to about room temperature

• Olive oil, for greasing the bowl

For Finishing:

• Cooking spray

• 10 cups water

• 2/3 cup baking soda

• 1 egg yolk, beaten with 1 tbsp. water

• Pretzel (or kosher) salt

• Cherchies® Hot Banana Pepper Mustard, Cherchies® Champagne Mustard, or Cherchies® Cranberry Mustard

Directions: 

For the dough, in a small bowl combine the water and yeast and let rest for about a minute. Add sugar and salt to the yeast mix.

In a large bowl combine flour, melted butter and yeast mixture. Knead mixture for about 5 minutes. You could also do this in a stand mixer fitted first with a paddle attachment to combine and then secondly with a dough hook on medium speed. Transfer the dough to a large bowl lightly greased with olive oil, turning the dough once to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place, about 90 minutes or until doubled in bulk.

Preheat the oven to 450° F.

Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats. Bring the water and baking soda to a boil in a large saucepan or stockpot. In the meantime, divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Working with one piece at a time, roll a segment out into a 24-inch long rope.

Make a u-shape with the rope and holding the ends of the rope, cross them over each other and onto the bottom of the u-shape in order to form the shape of a pretzel. Place onto the parchment lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining pieces of dough.

Place the pretzels into the boiling water, 1 or 2 at a time, for 30 seconds. Remove from the water with a slotted skimmer and return to the baking sheet. Once all the pretzels have been boiled, brush the tops with the egg wash and sprinkle lightly with salt.

Bake in the preheated oven until dark golden brown, about 12-14 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack for about 5 minutes before serving, if you can keep people away for that long! Serve with Cherchies® Mustards.

Enjoy!

Thank you for visiting! Come back again!

Ingredients

• 6 asparagus spears, blanched in boiling water for 3 minutes

• 6 slices soft white bread

• 6 Teaspoons (tsp) softened butter ( 1 tsp. per slice of bread)

• 1 Tablespoon (Tbsp) softened butter

• 6 slices ham, thinly sliced, cut in half

• 6 slices Swiss cheese, cut in half

• 2 Tablespoons (Tbsp) Cherchies® Champagne Mustard (using 1 teaspoon (tsp) per slice of bread).  (or, try this recipe with our Hot Banana Pepper Mustard or Cranberry Mustard)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  

In a medium skillet, add enough water to cover the asparagus.  Blanch asparagus for 2-3 minutes in boiling water, drain, cool, and set aside.

Remove crust from bread with a sharp serrated knife and roll out until very flat and thin.

Spread each slice of bread with 1 teaspoon (tsp) butter and 1 teaspoon (tsp) of Cherchies® Champagne Mustard. 

Cut each slice in half. Place a thin slice of ham on six slices of bread and six slices of Swiss cheese for the other six slices of bread.

**Note, the original recipe called for this method. I personally prefer to add both the ham and cheese. (Unless, your guests are vegetarians or have a dairy intolerance, then consider doing it this way).

Cut the cooled asparagus in half.  Top the ham or cheese slices with one half of each asparagus.

Roll up and brush with melted butter.  Place seam side down on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.  

Bake at 425 degrees for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Can either serve whole or cut roll-ups in half to serve a crowd.  

Enjoy!
