These were okay. I make pretzels quite often and these weren't chewy enough and the cheese didn't do it for me.

Just a note on vieux's comment. When you are mixing the yeast into the dry ingredients and then adding the warm liquid to it, the temperature drops severely, so you need a higher temp to insure that it stays warm enough to activate the yeast. I always use 125-130*. If you were adding the yeast directly to the liquid first, you definitely would not go over 120*.

I was hopping it would be a little more soft.

When I saw this recipe, I couldn't wait to try making them. I could not taste beer in the recipe but the cheese and caraway were a great combo. Delish!

This recipe is very good my fiance liked them as well. I added 1/2 of the gouda cheese in with the dough as I was kneading it. Then sprinkled on at end as well. A Little on the salty side, due to the cheese but that's how pretzels are to be right? The caraway made it outstanding with flavor. An excellent item for a football game for the guys.

This looks really good. Haven't made this yet so I can't rate it but I will, with a couple changes, One of them is crucial. I'll add the cheese to the dough mixture (just seems that the cheese (might play with the cheese as well just for a different taste) in the pretzel will give it a fuller flavour. Also, and this is the crucial one, I will not heat the liquid mix above 125. Above this and there is just too much chance of killing the yeast and then the whole process has been a waste of time and money. Thank you for a great idea.
