Mini Pretzel Dogs simple recipe that works every time

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.

Get 1 cup of warm water (100 to 110 degrees Fahrenheit).

Add 2 teaspoons of yeast, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of flour to the warm water and stir.

Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and let it sit for about 10 minutes until foamy bubbles form.

In a big bowl, add the yeast batter, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

Add 2.5 cups of flour (about 330 grams) and mix until the dough is smooth and soft, about 5 minutes.

Add olive oil to the surface of the bowl to prevent the dough from sticking, then place the dough in the bowl and cover with plastic wrap.

Let the dough proof until it doubles in size, which took about 35 minutes in warm conditions (should not exceed 1 to 1.5 hours).

Use flour to prevent sticking and start rolling out the dough.

Cut the dough into even sticks about 3/4 of an inch thick and 2.5 times the length of the sausage.

Wrap the dough around the sausage.

Bring 1 liter of water to a boil and add 1 teaspoon of baking soda.

Once boiling, place the pretzel dogs in the water for about 30 seconds, doing about 5 or 6 at a time.

Remove the pretzel dogs from the water and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

Whisk 1 egg and brush it on top of the pretzel dogs.

Optionally, sprinkle shredded cheese on top or some salt instead of cheese.

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for about 10 minutes.
