Cooking Steps
Before starting, remove pizza dough from the fridge and rest in a warm spot for 20 min.Preheat the oven to 425˚F.Wash and dry all produce. Add 6 cups water and baking soda to a large pot. Bring to a boil over high heat. Meanwhile, lightly oil a clean work surface. Divide dough in half. Use both hands to roll each piece of dough into a 24-inch-long rope. (NOTE: If the dough springs back when rolled, leave it to rest for another 10 min to relax before rolling again.)Cut each rope into three 8-inch pieces. (NOTE: Don't worry if dough pieces shrink when cut into pieces.)
Add egg and 1 tsp water to a small bowl. Beat until combined, 30 sec.Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Working in two batches, add half the pretzel sticks to the boiling water and cook for 1 min. Using a slotted spoon, gently remove pretzel sticks, letting any excess liquid drip off, then place on the prepared baking sheet. Brush pretzel sticks with beaten egg, then sprinkle tops with flaky salt. Bake in the top of the oven, rotating the sheet halfway through, until golden-brown, 14-16 min.
Meanwhile, stir together mayo, cream cheese, sour cream, half the cheddar cheese and 1/4 tsp garlic salt in another small bowl. Season with pepper, then stir to combine.Transfer cheese mixture to an oven-safe dish. Sprinkle remaining cheddar cheese over top.Bake in the middle of the oven until warmed through, 5-6 min.
Transfer pretzel sticks to a plate.Serve warm cheese dip on the side for dipping.
