Homemade Pretzel Dogs Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450˚F (230˚C).
• Dust the cutting board with flour, and cut the pizza dough into 4 equal pieces.
• Roll each piece of dough out until it's a 12-inch (30 cm) rope. It's okay if the dough naturally shrinks.
• Take the rolled out dough and wrap it around a hot dog in a spiraling motion, leaving room on the ends.
• In a pot, combine the baking soda with the water and bring it to a boil.
• Cook each pretzel dog in the solution for 30 seconds each. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a baking tray.
• Brush each pretzel dog with the egg wash.
• Top the pretzels with your toppings of choice.
• For sea salt, sprinkle the salt on top. For jalapeño cheddar, top the pretzel with cheddar cheese, then follow with jalapeños. For garlic butter, combine the butter, garlic, and parsley, and brush on top. For pizza, top with mozzarella and follow with pepperoni.
• Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until it reaches a deep golden brown.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to a boil. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside.
• Roll each dinner roll into a long rope approximately 1 1/2 to 2 times the length of a hot dog. Coil each rope around a hot dog, pinching the ends to seal them so they cannot come loose.
• Add the baking soda to the boiling water, then, working in batches, drop the pretzel dogs into the water for 30 seconds and remove to a rack.
• When all the dogs have been boiled, place them on the greased baking sheet. Brush with the beaten egg and sprinkle with pretzel salt.
• Bake until the bread ropes are cooked and have turned golden brown, about 12 minutes. Serve with spicy mustard and pickles.

Steps:

• Sprinkle the yeast and sugar over 2 cups of warm water in a small bowl. The water should be no more than 100 degrees F (40 degrees C). Let stand for 20 minutes until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam.
• Combine the yeast mixture with the warm milk, oil, and salt in a large mixing bowl; stir well to combine. Stir in half of the flour mixture until no dry spots remain. Stir in the remaining flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. The dough should be moderately stiff and slightly sticky. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
• Spray a large bowl with cooking spray, then place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat. Cover with plastic wrap or a light cloth and let rise in a warm place (80 to 95 degrees F (27 to 35 degrees C)) until doubled in volume, about 45 minutes.
• After the dough has risen, fill a large pot with about 8 cups water, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and the baking soda and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. While the water is coming to a boil cut the the dough into 20 pieces, about the size of a golf ball. Roll each piece into a 12 inch long rope about 1 1/2 inches thick.
• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease 2 baking sheets.
• Dip a strip of dough into the boiling water using a pair of tongs, count to 5, remove it from the water, and place it on a paper towel for a few seconds. Wrap the strip around a hot dog, place on a baking sheet, and sprinkle with coarse salt. Repeat with the remaining strips of dough and hot dogs.
• Bake in a preheated oven until they are golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat the beer in a saucepan over low heat until it reaches 110 degrees F (45 degrees C).
• Combine the warm beer, sugar, and 2 teaspoons kosher salt in a bowl. Sprinkle the yeast on top, and let stand for 5 minutes until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam.
• Place the bread flour and butter in a bread machine. Add the yeast mixture, then select the dough cycle.
• Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or grease with vegetable oil.
• Beat the egg yolk in a small bowl with 1 tablespoon water; set aside.
• Stir baking soda into 10 cups water in a large pot until dissolved, and bring to a boil.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly-oiled surface, and roll into a 10x20-inch rectangle.
• Cut the dough into 18 1-inch wide strips, then wrap each strip tightly around a hot dog in a spiral, pinching the edges to seal, and leaving the ends open. About half an inch of hot dog should peek out of each end of the dough wrapper.
• Drop 2 or 3 dough-wrapped hot dogs into the boiling water for 30 seconds.
• Arrange the boiled hot dogs on the prepared baking sheets. Brush each pretzel dog with the egg yolk mixture, and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup salt.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
