Bagel Dogs
Description
To make Bagel Dogs, a yeast dough is prepared by activating yeast with warm water and sugar, then mixing with flour, salt, and melted butter. The dough is kneaded until smooth and allowed to rise until doubled. After shaping dough strips around hot dogs, the formed dogs are briefly boiled in a water and baking soda bath, which promotes the characteristic bagel crust and texture.
Once boiled, Bagel Dogs are brushed with beaten egg and topped optionally with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried onion, or coarse salt before baking at high heat until golden brown. The resulting snack features a chewy, slightly crisp exterior with a soft interior enclosing the sausage.
This recipe allows for making dough ahead of time and includes suggestions for children to help with measuring and shaping, making it a practical and interactive kitchen project for families.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup water warm
- 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 package active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon butter melted
- 6 hotdog
- 12 cups water
- 2 tablespoons baking soda
- 1 egg beaten
- sesame seed optional toppings
- poppy seed
- dried onion
- coarse salt
Instructions
- Mix together the warm water, sugar and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes or until yeast has started to bubble.
- Add the flour, salt and butter to the yeast mixture. Place the bowl on a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Mix the dough on medium speed for about 5 minutes, until the dough forms a ball that pulls away from the sides of the bowl. If the dough seems a little dry, add a bit more water (1/4 teaspoon at a time)
- Remove the ball of dough from the bowl; spray the bowl with cooking spray and return the dough to the bowl. Cover with plastic wrap.
- Place the bowl in a warm area until the dough has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a sheet pan with a silicon baking mat or parchment paper.
- In a large pot, combine the 12 cups of water and baking soda and bring to a boil. I find a deeper pot works best to prevent the dogs from sticking to the bottom.
- Place the dough on a floured surface and divide into equal pieces. Each piece should be about 3 ounces.
- Roll each piece of dough into a rope about 10-12 inches long. Wrap the dough around each hot dog, pinching the ends of the dough together to seal. Place the hot dogs on the lined sheet pan.
- Using a slotted spoon or flat strainer, dip each hot dog into the baking soda boil for 30 seconds per side. Place each hot dog back onto the sheet pan.
- Brush the bagel dogs with the beaten egg. At this point you can add any bagel toppings if you desire. Bake until deep golden brown, about 15 minutes.
Notes
- The dough can be prepared earlier and refrigerated after rising, then brought to room temperature before use.
- Children can assist by measuring ingredients and shaping dough around the hot dogs, making it a family-friendly activity.
