Susie's Pretzel Dogs image

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...

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!

These pretzel dogs were just okay. The dough was a little bland, and the pretzels were a little dry. The hot dogs were also a little overcooked. I would probably try a different recipe next time.

These pretzel dogs were a disaster. The dough was too sticky to work with, and the pretzels were hard and overcooked. The hot dogs were also dry and tasteless. I would not recommend this recipe.

These pretzel dogs were amazing! The dough was so soft and chewy, and the pretzels were perfectly browned. The hot dogs were also cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making these again and again.

These pretzel dogs were a bit of a challenge to make, but they were worth it! The dough was a little sticky, but I just added a little more flour and it was fine. The pretzels turned out perfectly golden and crispy. I will definitely be making these

I've made these pretzel dogs several times and they always turn out great! The dough is easy to work with and the pretzels are always crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I love to serve them with mustard and sauerkraut.

These pretzel dogs were okay. The dough was a little bland, but the pretzels were cooked evenly and the hot dogs were juicy. I would probably try a different recipe next time.

These pretzel dogs were a disappointment. The dough was dry and crumbly, and the pretzels were hard and overcooked. The hot dogs were also dry and tasteless. I would not recommend this recipe.

I made these pretzel dogs for my kids and they loved them! They were easy to make and turned out great. The dough was a little sticky, but I just added a little more flour and it was fine. I will definitely be making these again.

I love these pretzel dogs! The dough is so easy to work with and the pretzels turn out perfectly every time. I usually make a double batch so I can have some for lunch the next day.
