Ingredients

• ½ cup whole wheat flour
• ½ cup all purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp fine salt
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 Tbsp honey
• 1 large egg (for egg wash)
• Large grain Kosher salt
• Dill Pickle Dip
• ½ package (4 ounces) cream cheese, softened
• ½ cup sour cream
• 2 Tbsp dill pickle juice
• ¼ tsp garlic powder
• ? tsp pepper
• ½ cup dill pickles, diced

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or coat with nonstick spray and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the yogurt and honey, and mix until a rough dough forms.
3. Dust work surface with some flour, dump the dough out onto the flour, and use your hands to bring the dough together into a ball.
4. Knead dough for a minute or two until the dough is smooth. If sticky, slowly work in small amounts of more flour.
5. Form the dough into a log and cut into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 4 inch stick and place on the prepared baking sheet making sure to leave space between each stick.
6. Crack the egg into a small bowl and beat well. Use a pastry brush to coat each pretzel stick in a thin layer of the egg. A paper towel can also work if a pastry brush is unavailable. Sprinkle a big pinch of the Kosher salt over each stick.
7. Bake the pretzel sticks until golden brown or about 15-20 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before enjoying with your favorite dip or as is.
8. For Dill Dip: In a small bowl, whisk cream cheese, sour cream, pickle juice, garlic powder, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
9. Gently fold in pickles. Serve immediately or refrigerate up to 4 hours.
