Was hungry for a pretzel dog so I made some last night. Have not ate one in a long time.

Pretzel Dog Recipe

1 ½ cups warm water 100-110°

4 cups flour

2 tbls brown sugar

1 1/8 tsp salt

1 1/8 tsp active dry yeast or 1 packet

1 tbls vital wheat gluten (optional; supposed to make dough rise better)

Put ingredients above in order in bread machine.

Set on Dough Setting.

Roll out dough in ropes or larger strips & wrap around hot dogs

I used larger strips on the pic above. I have also made them with smaller ropes of dough around them.

Put on greased baking pan

Brush lightly with the baking soda water:

1 cup warm water 100-110°

1 tbls of baking soda

Let Rise (I turned on the oven at 200° for 2 mins. Turned oven off & put them in the oven to rise 20 mins).

Bake at 450° for 10 mins or until golden brown

Melt 2 tbls butter

Brush top of hot dogs after you take them out of the oven

Sprinkle with coarse salt

Makes 10

I don't put salt on them because I use Nathan's hot dogs & they are plenty salty for us.

I did not use the vital wheat gluten. I used bread flour.
