Instructions

  1. Combine the milk, 1/4 cup of water, and sugar in a medium saucepan. Place over low heat, stir occasionally, and cook until it reaches 110 to 115 degrees F.
  2. Pour the milk mixture into a stand mixer bowl. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and butter.
  4. Using the hook attachment, turn your stand mixer to low speed and slowly add the flour into the yeast mixture with the mixer running. Continue to mix on low until all ingredients are combined. Then crank up the speed to medium and mix for about 8 minutes until the dough is smooth and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
  5. Transfer the dough to a clean and dry counter dusted with a little flour. Knead the dough a few times (the dough should be slightly sticky) and form it into a ball. Place the dough ball into a greased bowl. Roll the dough around so it's oiled on all sides.
  6. Cover the bowl and place it in a warm space until it doubles in size, about 1 hour.
  7. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  8. Punch down the pretzel dough and divide it into 8 even balls. Roll out the dough balls into a long snake shape. Remove the hot dogs from the freezer and dust off any ice that may have formed. Wrap one dough snake around each hot dog in a spiral.
  9. Mix 3 cups of hot water and the baking soda into a deep dish big enough to submerge the hot dogs. Dip the hot dogs in the water for 15 seconds and then place them on a paper towel. Place hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet 2 inches apart.
  10. Beat together the egg and 1 tablespoon of water in a small bowl. Brush the egg wash over the pretzel dough. Sprinkle with a little bit of coarse sea salt, if desired.
  11. Bake until dark golden brown, about 10-15 minutes. Remove the hot dogs from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack until they're cool enough to touch. Serve warm.

Notes

  • If you don't have a stand mixer, prepare the yeast for the dough as directed. Then use a hand mixer on low speed to incorporate the flour. Once the ingredients are combined, turn the dough out onto a floured work surface. Knead the dough by hand for 8 minutes. Then continue as directed.
  • Turn these hot dogs into a fun Halloween dinner by placing two candy eyes between one of the pretzel spiral spaces toward one end of each hot dog after dipping the dough. Bake as directed and you'll have mummy dogs!
