How to cook deliciously - Pretzel Bread Bowl with Cheese Dip

1. Stage

Mix pretzels, dressing mix, yeast, sugar, baking soda and 1 cup flour. In a small saucepan, heat water, milk and butter to 120°-130°. Add to dry ingredients; beat on low speed until moistened. Add cheese; beat on medium for 3 minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a stiff dough.

2. Stage

Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Cover and let rest 10 minutes.

3. Stage

Grease a baking sheet; sprinkle with cornmeal. Shape dough into a round loaf; place on prepared pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

4. Stage

Whisk egg white with water; brush over top of loaf. If desired, sprinkle with salt. Preheat oven to 375°. Bake until golden brown and bread sounds hollow when tapped, 30-35 minutes. Cool on pan 5 minutes. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

5. Stage

For dip, mix sour cream, pepper jack cheese and dressing mix. Refrigerate until serving.

6. Stage

To serve, cut a fourth off top of bread loaf. Hollow out center of loaf, leaving a 1/2-in.-thick shell. Cut removed bread into cubes. Fill bowl with dip. If desired, top with peppers and additional cheese. Serve dip with bread cubes and vegetables.
