These Beer Pretzel Rosemary are unbelievably easy to make and unbelievably delicious! It's the kind of recipe that's perfect for a casual get-together, movie night or even just a quiet evening by yourself. Trust me, you'll be amazed at how addictive these little pretzels are!
I stumbled upon this recipe a few years back during a particularly stressful week at work. I needed something that was both comforting and easy and these pretzels were just what the doctor ordered. The malty flavor of the beer pairs so wonderfully with the fresh, slightly peppery notes of the rosemary, and the overall texture is wonderfully crispy. They're incredibly satisfying.

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This step is crucial for easy cleanup and prevents sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of beer (any kind you like, but I prefer a nice pale ale), 1/4 cup of melted unsalted butter, and 1 large egg. The egg and butter should be at room temperature to blend easily.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon or spatula until a soft dough forms. Dont overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Lightly flour your work surface (if using a rolling pin), and turn the dough out onto it. Gently knead the dough for a minute or two – just enough to bring it together.
- If using a rolling pin, roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness. If not, simply shape the dough into a log and cut it into 1-inch pieces.
- Shape each piece into a pretzel. You can look up some images of pretzel shapes online for inspiration if you want to try something fancy.
- Arrange pretzels on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of melted butter and 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh rosemary. Brush this mixture evenly over the pretzels.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until they're golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye on them so they don't burn!
- Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents sogginess
📝 Notes
- For extra flavor, try using a flavored beer like a stout or an IPA.
- If your dough seems too dry, add a tablespoon of beer at a time until it comes together.
- Feel free to experiment with different herbs besides rosemary, like thyme or oregano!
