Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or in a large bowl if mixing by hand), stir together warm water, yeast, and brown sugar. If using active dry yeast, let yeast mixture stand for 5-10 minutes or until foamy.
- Stir in 2 cups flour and salt.
- Continue stirring in flour 1/2 cup at a time until dough comes together. Dough will still be a little sticky. If you touch the dough, it should pull with your finger but shouldn't come off on your finger.
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap or a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 10 minutes.
- While dough is resting, preheat oven to 425 F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- To prepare the water bath, stir together remaining 6 cups warm water and 6 tablespoons of baking soda in a medium bowl.
- To prepare the egg wash, mix egg yolk and water together. Set aside.
- Divide dough into 10 pieces.
- Roll each piece of dough into a rope approximately twice as long as the hot dog.
- Wrap dough around the hot dog, pressing the ends of the dough in to seal them.
- Repeat with the remaining dough and hot dogs.
- Submerge shaped pretzel in water bath, and then place it on prepared baking sheets.
- Brush each pretzel with the egg wash, and sprinkle with a little kosher salt.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Serve with mustard or other desired sauces for dipping.
Notes
- Warm water: If you don't have a kitchen thermometer to test the water temperature, the water should feel like bath water. If the water is too hot, it can kill the yeast.
- Yeast: An equal amount of active dry yeast can be used in place of the instant yeast.
- Brown sugar: You can use granulated sugar, if you prefer.
- Kosher salt: Another coarse salt (like sea salt) will work.
- Hot dogs: I go into more detail about hot dogs above the recipe, but you can use any brand of standard hot dog that you like.
