In a large pot, bring about 3 liters of water to a boil. You can cut them as large or small as you like, but I typically aim for 1-2-inch cubes. Roll each section into a long rope and cut into small bite-sized nuggets. Step #1: Roll out your pizza doughĭivide your pizza dough into 4 equal sections. If you are making your own dough from scratch (see my Easy Homemade Pizza Dough recipe), make sure to leave enough time to let the dough rise before you start on the other steps. Either can be made ahead of time, but I think that the beer cheese is best fresh, while the pretzels can be fine sitting out for a while. I recommend starting with the pretzel bites, and making the beer cheese sauce while the pretzels are baking in the oven. Just keep in mind that stronger flavored beers (like stouts and malts) will give the beer cheese a stronger flavor, so make sure that’s what you and your guests want. You can also use a nonalcoholic beer!
I normally opt for a light lager or ale, but again, you can use any beer that you want. The other necessary component of beer cheese. You can use any combo of cheese you want! I like adding some mozzarella to give it extra gooeyness when it’s melted, and the Jarslberg cheese pairs so well with the beer (gouda would also be good). Cheddar is what is classically used in beer cheese dip, and I love the color and flavor that it brings to the sauce. I like to use 1 cup of sharp cheddar, ½ cup mozzarella, and ½ cup Jarlsberg cheese. You need 2 cups total, but feel free to use a few different kinds of cheese. Of course you need cheese for the beer cheese dip. For the pretzel bites, all you need is some pizza dough! You can either buy store-bought pizza dough, or you can make your own with my Easy Pizza Dough recipe. Beer cheese is especially delicious paired with salty soft pretzels. It doesn’t taste too beer-y, but it tastes richer and a little more “adult” than that classic yellow nacho cheese sauce. What Is Beer Cheese Sauce?īeer cheese is basically a cheese sauce made with a little bit of beer to give it a deliciously rich flavor. This game day appetizer is sure to impress and tastes a million times better than anything you could buy at the store. Homemade soft pretzels are actually insanely easy to make (all you need is some pizza dough!), and the beer cheese sauce isn’t too far behind.
