How Cooking Forest Strider Drumsticks

1. Mix water, salt, sugar, and yeast in a big bowl. Stir. After a few minutes foam will appear on the surface. By the way, water should be warm, not cold, or hot. Otherwise, yeast wouldn’t work;
2. When five minutes are gone, add melted butter and flour in parts. Start stirring with a tablespoon, and then, when the dough is no longer sticky, knead the dough on a cutting board covered in flour;

3. Oil the bowl and put the dough in it, covering everything with a film. Leave it still for an hour. It should be twice as big the time is up.

4. Boil ten cups of water in a pot and add some soda. Turn the heat off and stir the water so that the soda would melt into it;
5. Set your oven on 200 degrees;
6. Divide the dough into halves and each into 5 equal parts;

7. Roll each part of the dough into a sausage of 30 centimeters and make it look like a U letter.

8. Cover the bottom of your baking pan with a parchment and oil it well;
9. Put each pretzel into hot water and hold for 30-40 seconds. Then take it off, wait until the water drains away. Put the pretzels on the baking pan;
10. Oil the pretzels with the mixed egg and season with sea salt;

11. Bake for 12-15 minutes or refer to the color of the pretzels. It should be dark golden.

Sauce

And while the pretzels are being baked, we can prepare the sauce:

Melt the butter down in a small bowl and add some flour. Stirring on a medium heat, cook for a couple of minutes. Keep on stirring and add beer and milk. With the temperature increase the sauce will become thicker;
Take off of the heat and season with the sauce with the spices, Worcestershire sauce, and grated cheese.
Stir until it all becomes homogeneous;
Add salt and pepper to taste.

That is some special high when you feel salt crystals crust on your teeth. These pretzels are good with a cup of coffee in the morning or with a tomato juice for a lunch. But I love nothing more than eating them hot with a cheese sauce and wash it all down with some cold beer.
