Homemade Pretzel Hot Dog Recipe
Anyone even only semi-comfortable baking will find this simple. All it requires is making the pretzel dough, rolling it out, and wrapping the dough around a hot dog. Yes, it will need a baking soda bath for 30 seconds before baking but that’s so it gets that beautiful golden brown color you expect on a pretzel.
I’d recommend using a high quality hot dog and serving it with excellent mustard or a cheese sauce for dipping. This scratch-made pretzel dog recipe would make a wonderful party appetizer or main course for a low-key gathering.
