Notes

Per container, add 3/4 cup beer. Mix until a shaggy dough forms, then knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth. Cover and let rise in a warm spot about 45 minutes, until doubled. Roll into a 10 x 6-inch rectangle and cut lengthwise into 6 strips. Shape each into a pretzel, cover, and let rise again until nearly doubled. Bake at 400°F for 7 to 9 minutes, until lightly browned.
Storage: dry mix about 3 months in a cool, dry place, or up to 6 months refrigerated or frozen. Pretzels about 2 days at room temperature, 4 days refrigerated, 2 months frozen. Shaped or risen dough: refrigerate, use within 24 hours.
