DELICIOUS Homemade Pretzel Dog Recipe for a Savory Snack!

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: bread flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

cheese (optional)

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor.

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.

In a large bowl, add flour, instant yeast, brown sugar, and salt, and whisk together until combined.

Add filtered water and milk to the dry ingredients and mix until a loose dough forms.

Knead the dough for about 3 minutes.

Add melted butter to the dough and knead for an additional 5 minutes.

Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let it rest for 8 minutes.

Remove the kitchen towel and knead for an additional 6 to 8 minutes, or until a smooth and elastic dough forms.

If the dough is still loose and sticks to the bowl, add up to another half cup of flour.

Cover the bowl and let the dough rise until it has doubled in size, which should take about 45 to 60 minutes.

Once the dough has risen, line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each piece into a long rope.

Carefully wrap each piece of dough around a hot dog and pinch the ends together to seal the dough.

In a large pot, bring water and baking soda to a boil.

Boil the pretzel dogs one at a time for about 15 seconds on each side.

Remove from the water with a slotted spoon and drain completely before placing on the prepared sheet pan.

Whisk one egg with one tablespoon of water to form an egg wash.

Brush the dough thoroughly with the egg wash and sprinkle with salt.

Bake until golden brown, rotating the pan halfway, which should take about 12 to 15 minutes.

Remove from the oven and brush the bread generously with melted butter.

Let cool and enjoy.
