Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups warm water (110°F)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 8 hot dogs
- 1/2 cup baking soda
- 1 large egg, beaten
- Coarse sea salt, for topping
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let stand 5 minutes until foamy.

- Wrap each rope around a hot dog, pinching ends to seal.
- Bring 10 cups water and baking soda to a boil in a large pot. Boil each pretzel dog for 30 seconds, then transfer to prepared baking sheets.
- Brush each with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse salt.
- Bake 15-18 minutes until deep golden brown. Cool slightly before serving.
Tips
- Serve with mustard, ketchup, or cheese sauce.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in oven or microwave.
