• 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.
• Pour dough onto a floured surface. Knead the dough 3- 5 minutes, adding more flour as needed until no longer sticky. 
• Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces.
• Roll each piece of dough into about an 8 - 10 inch rope by rolling the dough between your hands. 
• Pat hot dogs dry with paper towels, this will make it easier to wrap the dough around the hot dogs.
• 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. 
• Sprinkle the tops of the dough with everything bagel seasoning.
