Beer Seed Pretzels

Recipe by Christopher Kimball’s Milk Street

Soft German‑style pretzels infused with amber beer and topped with a trio of pumpkin, caraway and sunflower seeds. The dough is enriched with barley malt syrup for subtle sweetness, boiled briefly in a baking‑soda alkaline bath for that classic chewy crust, then baked to golden perfection.
