Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll 12 oz pretzel dough into a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick. Cut into 1-inch squares and arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Step 2: Brush each pretzel square with melted butter (1 tbsp) and sprinkle evenly with 1 tbsp sesame seeds and 1/2 tsp coarse sea salt.
  3. Step 3: Bake for 12-14 minutes until golden brown and crisp around the edges, rotating the pan halfway through.
  4. Step 4: While pretzels bake, whisk together 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tbsp whole grain mustard, and 1/4 cup sour cream to make a smooth dip. Chill until pretzels are ready.
  5. Step 5: Serve warm pretzel bites with honey mustard dip for dipping.
