Soft Pretzels with Beer Cheese

Ingredients

• For the soft pretzels:
• 1 cup warm water
• 1 packet active dry yeast
• 2 1/2 cups unbleached bread flour, plus more as needed
• 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt

• Baking soda, as needed
• 1 tablespoon barley malt syrup, rice syrup, or dark brown sugar (I used the latter)
• Coarse kosher salt or pretzel salt, to taste
• Cornmeal, for dusting
• For the beer cheese:
• 6 ounces beer (brown ale is best)
• 2 cloves garlic
• 12 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1/2 tablespoon cayenne
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce (I used homemade jalapeño hot sauce, but Tabasco will also work fine)
