Instructions
- 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.
- Next add the flour and kosher salt. Stir with a dough whisk or wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
- 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.
- Cover the dough (with plasticwrap or a damp towel) and place it in a warm place to rise until doubled insize– about 90 minutes.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Remove the pretzels from the water bath and place them on a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Brush the pretzels with egg wash and sprinkle with salt or sesame seeds.
- Bake the pretzel dogs for 20-22 minutes or until the pretzels are golden brown. Serve immediately.
