   Just dip pizza dough in lye. This works for pretzel sticks/pretzel bites as well.

   **Ingredients:**

   * 1~2 lb pizza dough

   Lye Solution (for soaking only! Handle with gloves, do not consume!):

   * 2.5 cups water
   * 2 tbsp lye

   optional topping:

   * pretzel salt to taste
   * butter for brushing

   beer cheese dip:

   * 1/4 cup beer
   * 1/4 tsp sodium citrate
   * 2oz grated cheddar

   **Instructions**:

   1. Flour working surface & pizza dough so it doesn’t stick. Cut pizza dough into 3~4oz portions.
   2. Stretch each portion into a long log, form a U-shape with the log, then cross the ends 2~3 times to form a noose shape, then fold the ends onto the round edge.
   3. Dip each pretzel in lye solution for 5~6 seconds. Sprinkle with pretzel salt if using.
   4. Convection bake for ~15 min at 420F, or until pretzel is darkened & surface is dried.
   5. While pretzels are baking, combine beer, sodium citrate, & grated cheddar. Microwave for 30 sec. Stir until smooth. Pour into sauce cup while warm.
   6. Brush pretzels with butter & serve with sauces of your choice. Enjoy!
