Instructions

  1. Add the warm water, light brown sugar, and active dry yeast to a large bowl and stir to combine. Set aside for the yeast to bloom for 5 minutes.
  2. Next add the flour and kosher salt. Stir with a dough whisk or wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Turn Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead until it is smooth and tacky– about 2-3 minutes. You’ll know the dough is ready when you poke it gently and it springs back.
  4. Cover the dough (with plasticwrap or a damp towel) and place it in a warm place to rise until doubled insize– about 90 minutes.
  5. When the dough has risen, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into 8 pieces. Roll each piece into a 10” long rope and then wrap it around one of the hot dogs. Pinch the seams together at the ends to ensure the pretzel dough doesn’t become unwrapped.
  6. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and bring a large pot of water to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium (a gentle boil) and very slowly add the baking soda.
  7. Cook the pretzels 1-2 at a time (making sure not to crowd the pan) for 30 seconds. Then flip the pretzel dogs and cook them for an additional 30 seconds.
  8. Remove the pretzels from the water bath and place them on a parchment lined baking sheet.
  9. Brush the pretzels with egg wash and sprinkle with salt or sesame seeds.
  10. Bake the pretzel dogs for 20-22 minutes or until the pretzels are golden brown. Serve immediately.
