**Pretzel Dogs: A Savory Twist on a Classic Snack**

Pretzel dogs, also known as corn dogs, are a delightful fusion of two beloved American snacks: pretzels and hot dogs. These savory treats consist of a hot dog encased in a pretzel-like dough, creating a delightful combination of textures and flavors. The pretzel dough, made from a mixture of flour, water, yeast, and salt, is wrapped around a hot dog and then boiled briefly before being baked until golden brown. The result is a crispy, chewy pretzel exterior that yields to a juicy, savory hot dog interior. This recipe provides detailed instructions for making pretzel dogs from scratch, including tips for achieving the perfect dough consistency and cooking techniques for a crispy and flavorful finish. Additionally, the article offers variations on the classic pretzel dog, such as using different types of sausages, adding cheese or bacon, and experimenting with various dipping sauces. Whether you're hosting a party or simply craving a tasty snack, these homemade pretzel dogs are sure to satisfy your cravings.

Provided by Nathan Ng

Categories     Snacks

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

flour
12 oz pizza dough
4 hot dogs
5 cups water
¼ cup baking soda
1 egg yolk, beaten
coarse sea salt, to taste
shredded cheddar cheese
jalapeño, sliced into rings and seeds taken out
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
shredded mozzarella cheese
pepperoni

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!

Time 2h10m

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle room temperature beer
1 tablespoon white sugar
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
4 ½ cups bread flour
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg yolk
1 tablespoon water
10 cups water
⅔ cup baking soda
¼ cup kosher salt, divided - or to taste
18 hot dogs

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.

PRETZEL DOGS



PRETZEL DOGS image

Categories     Beef

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 12

Dough
22 oz (about 4 1/2 cups) all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 3/4 teaspoons instant yeast
1 1/2 cups warm water (about 110 F)
2 oz (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
10 cups water
2/3 cup baking soda
8 hot dogs, halved
1 large egg yolk beaten with 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)
pretzel salt or coarse salt

Steps:

  • Add the flour, sugar, salt, yeast, water, and butter to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Mix on low speed until the dough comes into a rough ball. Knead on low speed for about 5 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic (it should pull away from the sides of the bowl). Transfer the dough to a large bowl that's been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise for about 50 minutes, or until the dough has doubled in size. Preheat oven to 450 F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Combine the 10 cups of water and the baking soda in a large stockpot or roasting pan and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, turn the dough out onto your work surface. Divide it into 16 equal pieces. Working with one piece at a time, roll the dough into approximately a 12-inch rope. Wrap the rope around one halved hot dog - be sure to pinch the ends very well to seal (to reduce the likelihood that the dough unravels when you boil in the next step). Repeat with the remaining pieces of dough until you've wrapped all of the dogs. One at a time, boil the pretzel dogs in the baking soda/water mixture for 30 seconds, transferring them to a wire rack afterward using a slotted spoon or spider strainer. Repeat with all 16 pretzel dogs. Transfer the dogs to the parchment-lined baking sheets. Brush them with the egg wash and sprinkle with the pretzel salt. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the pretzels are golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve with mustard or your favorite dipping sauce.

SUSIE'S PRETZEL DOGS

These are going to be a huge hit in your household. The bread is hard and salty on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside - the perfect baked pretzel dog. If you've had pretzels from those places in the mall, these are just as good (maybe better!) at a fraction of the cost. Fun for kids and adults! Serve with your favorite...

Categories     Other Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 c warm water (about 110 degrees)
1 Tbsp honey
2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 pkg)
4 1/2 c bread flour
1 tsp kosher salt
1/4 c melted butter
10 c water
1/2 c baking soda
1 egg yolk
1 Tbsp water
14-18 hot dogs
Kosher salt to sprinkle on top (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Add honey to the warm water and stir to dissolve (you can use sugar if you don't have honey). Stir in yeast and set aside until foamy. (5-10 min)
  • 2. In a large bowl, mix about 3 cups of bread flour and the 1 tsp. of kosher salt together. Add the melted butter & yeast mixture. Add the remaining 1 1/2 cups flour a little at a time until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic (about 8-10 min). I use my Kitchen-Aid mixer with a dough hook for this.
  • 3. Put dough in an oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place until double (about 1 hour).
  • 4. When dough is ready, roll out on a lightly oiled surface to about 10 x 20 inches.
  • 5. Slice the dough into 1 inch wide strips. Wrap the dough around each hot dog, making sure to pinch the edges at each end. There should be about 1/2 inch of hot dog at each end showing. If you have any dough left over after wrapping your hot dogs, roll them into strips and shape into a pretzel. :)
  • 6. Bring the 10 cups of water to a boil and then add the baking soda and stir to dissolve. Add the dough-wrapped hot dogs a few at a time, and boil for about 30 seconds.
  • 7. Remove with a large slotted spoon and place on 2 greased baking sheets (or use parchment paper).
  • 8. Mix the egg yolk and 1 tablespoon water together, and brush on the pretzel dogs.
  • 9. Sprinkle with kosher salt if you like, and then bake in a preheated 425-450 oven for about 15 minutes, until golden brown.
  • 10. Remove from pans and let cool slightly...and then enjoy!

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 22m

Yield 10 pretzel dogs, 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

10 mini hot dogs
refrigerated pretzels, dough cut into 3-inch strips or refrigerated breadstick dough, cut into 3-inch strips
1 egg, lightly beaten
pretzel salt
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon curry powder
squeeze honey (to taste)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Prick hot dogs with a fork, then twist dough around each one.
  • Brush with egg, and sprinkle with salt.
  • Bake until golden brown, about 12-15 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, mix mayo, curry powder, and honey, for dipping.

Tips for Making Pretzel Dogs:

  • Use fresh yeast. Fresh yeast is more active than active dry yeast, so it will help your dough rise faster and higher.
  • Proof your yeast. Proofing your yeast means letting it sit in warm water with a little sugar for 5-10 minutes. This will help to activate the yeast and ensure that it is working properly before you add it to your dough.
  • Knead your dough well. Kneading your dough helps to develop the gluten, which will make your pretzels chewy. Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Let your dough rise. After you have kneaded your dough, let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
  • Shape your pretzels. Once your dough has risen, divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece of dough into a long rope, about 12 inches long. Fold each rope in half lengthwise, then twist the two ends together to form a pretzel shape.
  • Boil your pretzels. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the pretzels to the boiling water and boil for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until they are slightly puffy and cooked through. Remove the pretzels from the water and place them on a baking sheet.
  • Bake your pretzels. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Brush the pretzels with melted butter and sprinkle them with salt. Bake the pretzels for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

Conclusion:

Pretzel dogs are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or meal. They are perfect for parties, picnics, or just a quick bite to eat. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can make your own homemade pretzel dogs that are sure to please everyone.
