The pretzels are done when they are golden brown on the outside and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Can I store leftover pretzels, and if so, how?

Tips:

- Proof your yeast to ensure it's active. Combine yeast with warm water (not too hot) and sugar, then wait for it to bubble up before using.

- Knead the dough until it's smooth and elastic. This will help your pretzels achieve the perfect chewy texture.

- Boil the pretzels briefly in water mixed with baking soda before baking. This gives them their characteristic golden-brown crust and unique flavor.

- Roast the garlic until it's soft and caramelized for a richer flavor in the mustard butter.

- Brushing the pretzels with the egg wash before baking will give them a beautiful sheen and help any toppings adhere better.

- Serve the pretzels warm with plenty of the roasted garlic and mustard butter for the best taste experience.
