How to Make Pretzel Dogs:

  • Make the dough by adding warm water, about 98- 100° to a large bowl with yeast, sugar, and olive oil. 
  • Stir to combine and set aside about 5 minutes.
  • Add about 1 cup of flour with salt and mix well. I like to use a dough hook, a wooden spoon works well too. Add additional flour 1/4 cup at a time until the dough comes together into a ball and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.

  • Start at one end of each hot dog and wrap the dough around in a spiral. Pinch the ends to seal. 
  • Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and repeat with remaining hot dogs.
  • In a small bowl beat an egg with a tablespoon of water. Brush egg wash over the dough, coating all sides.
