Jans Pretzel Dogs

Hot dogs wrapped in a pretzel are a perfect snack. Perfect for Super Bowl parties or the weekend tailgate! A little something different using your favorite can of beer instead of water! Delicious!

Step: 1

Heat the beer in a saucepan over low heat until it reaches 110 degrees F (45 degrees C).

Step: 2

Combine the warm beer, sugar, and 2 teaspoons kosher salt in a bowl. Sprinkle the yeast on top, and let stand for 5 minutes until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam.

Step: 3

Place the bread flour and butter in a bread machine. Add the yeast mixture, then select the dough cycle.

Step: 4

Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

Step: 5

Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or grease with vegetable oil.

Step: 6

Beat the egg yolk in a small bowl with 1 tablespoon water; set aside.

Step: 7

Stir baking soda into 10 cups water in a large pot until dissolved, and bring to a boil.

Step: 8

Turn the dough out onto a lightly-oiled surface, and roll into a 10x20-inch rectangle.

Step: 9

Cut the dough into 18 1-inch wide strips, then wrap each strip tightly around a hot dog in a spiral, pinching the edges to seal, and leaving the ends open. About half an inch of hot dog should peek out of each end of the dough wrapper.

Step: 10

Drop 2 or 3 dough-wrapped hot dogs into the boiling water for 30 seconds.

Step: 11

Arrange the boiled hot dogs on the prepared baking sheets. Brush each pretzel dog with the egg yolk mixture, and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup salt.

Step: 12

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
