Pretzel Dogs

These pretzel dogs were insanely delicious! If you don’t have the time or would prefer to cut out a few steps, you can use store-bought pizza dough instead of homemade dough. These will be made in our home again ASAP! Hope you enjoy them too!

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water
  • 4 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 4 tbsp melted butter
  • 8 jumbo hot dogs (2lb package)
  • 1 gallon water
  • 1/4 cup baking soda
  • 1 egg, whisked
  • Kosher Salt

    • Recipe

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together water, sugar and yeast. Cover and rest 10 minutes. Uncover and add flour, butter and brown sugar. Knead the dough 10 minutes. Add dough to an oiled bowl, cover and rest 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Punch the dough and knead for 1 minute: Separate into 8 balls, then roll each ball into flattened logs, about 20-24 inches long. Roll each hotdog with the dough from top to bottom. Bring water to a boil in a large pan and whisk in baking soda. Working with 1 to 2 wrapped dogs at a time, add to boiling water/baking soda mixture, cooking for 20-30 seconds. Drain with spatula and transfer to a greased baking sheet. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with desired about of Kosher salt. Bake 25-30 minutes or until the pretzel dough is brown and cooked on the bottom. Serve with cheese dip, mustard or your favorite dipping sauce.

    Oh man! I’m so sorry to hear it didn’t stay wrapped. I have made them several times, and other than a couple that might loosen at the end, they’re pretty tight. Here are some troubleshoot experiences: 1.) One follower said he used smaller dogs and the dough should be for 10-12 in that case instead of 8. 2.) Another follower boiled the dough too long (more than 20-30 seconds), and that loosened them as well. 3.) Another didn’t wrap them tight enough. 4.) Another tried substitutions with the dough ingredients, so not sure what went wrong there. 🙂
    I hope these help if you give them another try. Thank you for your feedback too! 🙂
