Everything Bagel Pretzel Dogs
- 1 ½ cups water lukewarm
- 1 tbsp barley malt syrup or brown sugar
- 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast
- 2 tsp salt
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 3 ½ - 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 10 jumbo hot dogs
- 1 tbsp baking soda
- 1 egg
- 1 batch Everything Bagel Spice see above
Instructions
For the Everything Bagel Spice
- Place all the ingredients in a small bowl and toss to combine. Set aside until ready to use.
For the Pretzel Dogs
- Place the water, malt syrup or sugar, yeast, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Let stand for 10 minutes or until foamy.
- Once the mixture is foamy, add the olive oil and 1 ½ cups of the flour. Turn the mixer to medium-low and mix to combine. Once the ingredients are well integrated, add another cup of flour and mix again until no streaks of flour remain.
- From here add the remaining flour in 1/4 cup increments. Only add as much flour as you need to form a slightly tacky dough that readily cleans the sides of the mixing bowl. Once your dough has achieved this texture, transfer it to a well-floured surface and knead it by hand until smooth and elastic.
- Transfer the dough to a bowl greased with olive oil and cover. Let the dough rise for an hour and a half or until doubled in size.
- Once the dough has risen, preheat the oven to 375°F punch down the dough and form it into a long rope. Cut 10 evenly sized pieces from the rope and set them aside. Cover the dough so it doesn't dry out while you work.
- Roll each dough piece into a rope about a ruler and a half (45cm) in length. Wrap the rope around a hot dog and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment or a silicone mat. Repeat with the remaining hot dogs and dough pieces.
- Once the dogs are wrapped bring 10 cups of water up to a boil and add the baking soda. Working in batches, place the pretzel dogs in the boiling water for 30 seconds. Return the boiled dogs to the baking sheet and set aside.
- Once all the dogs are boiled, whisk the egg and a tablespoon of water together in a small bowl. Using a pastry brush, brush the surface of the pretzel dogs with the egg wash and sprinkle with the Everything Bagel spice.
- Place the pretzel dogs in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden. Be sure to rotate the pans halfway through the cook time. Serve the pretzel dogs warm on a platter with condiments and grilled veggies.
