What better way to celebrate Oktoberfest than with soft pretzels and mustard?! These bad boys won't stay around long and are best enjoyed right out of the oven. We seasoned ours with Everything Bagel Seasoning and Cyprus Flake Salt but there's no end to the creative possibilities!
Our homemade mustard recipe is a real Spicewalla stunner. Featuring our yellow mustard seeds, turmeric, and Spanish paprika, this spicy condiment is the perfect match for soft pretzels. Who knew making your own mustard was so easy? Spoiler alert: you won't want to buy store-bought again.

Hey there, Julie! The mustard will be fine in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a month. Send us pics when you make it!
How long does the mustard keep?
i wish these recipes were printable from the website
Hi Sajid! We wouldn’t suggest making the dough a day ahead, it will overproof and be hard to work with. You could try to make it a day ahead and leave it in the fridge, but it definitely won’t yield the best results.
Can one prepare the pretzel dough a day earlier?
Thanks
