Homemade Pretzel Dogs

Last week I shared an amazingly delicious recipe for Homemade Soft Pretzels. This week I’m way excited to go further into the land of homemade pretzels with these Homemade Pretzel Dogs.

They require a little extra effort to make than your average weeknight meal, but if you have the time and energy, they are most definitely worth it.

Using the right pretzel salt is important. I use Boise Salt Co. Pretzel Salt and it’s just like the salt on store-bought soft pretzels.

How to Make Homemade Pretzel Dogs:

In a large mixing bowl (or using a stand mixer with a dough hook), stir together the water, sugar, and salt until the sugar is dissolved. Sprinkle yeast over the top and allow to sit for 5 minutes.

Add the flour to the bowl and stir consistently adding the butter in a slow drizzle.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5 minutes or until a smooth ball forms.

Grease a clean bowl with oil and transfer the dough to the oiled bowl. Cover with a clean tea towel and rest in a warm spot, free of drafts, for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.

Fill a large stockpot about halfway with water, add baking soda and bring to a boil.
Meanwhile, grease a clean surface lightly with oil. Divide dough into 8 to 10 equal portions. Roll out each dough portion into a rope about 24 inches long.

Long ropes of dough in a line.

Pat hotdogs dry. Twist pretzel dough around hotdogs, leaving the tips of the hotdogs exposed.

Drop the pretzel dogs into the boiling water one at a time and allow to boil for 30 seconds. Remove using a slotted turner and immediately place on the prepared baking sheet.

Mix together water and egg yolk. Brush over pretzel dogs and immediately sprinkle with kosher salt.

Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until the pretzel dogs are golden brown.
