PIGS IN A PRETZEL BLANKET RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Bring pizza dough to room temperature.
• Cut the dough into strips and stretch/roll out.
• Roll up mini hotdogs in pizza dough so the dough wraps around twice - leaving the ends sticking out and cutting off any excess.
• Place on a lightly greased baking sheet until ready to boil.
• Bring water to a light boil. Add in Baking Soda.
• Once dissolved, boil wrapped hot dogs in water mixture for 20-30 seconds each (working in small batches).
• Remove and place back on baking tray. Brush each lightly with beaten egg and sprinkle with sea salt.
• Bake in a preheated oven at 425˚F (220˚C) for 15-20 minutes until the dough is nicely browned.
• Enjoy!

HOGS IN A PRETZEL BLANKET

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. Mix yolks and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl until smooth. Gently roll out puff pastry on a lightly floured surface just to press out any creases; brush with egg wash. Cut into 8 long strips. Lightly dust sausages with flour. Working one at a time, wrap pastry around sausage, egg wash side facing in. If pastry becomes too soft, chill until firm before continuing.
• Place rolled-up sausages on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cut side down. Mix baking soda into remaining egg wash and brush over pastry (this will give dough a sheen); sprinkle with salt and poppy seeds. Chill 15 minutes.
• Bake until pastry is puffed and golden brown, 25-30 minutes. Let cool. Slice into bite-size portions and serve with mustard.
• Do ahead: Sausages can be rolled in pastry 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with salt and poppy seeds just before baking.

PRETZEL-ISH PIGS IN A BLANKET WITH MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• For the dough: In a bowl, combine the warm water and yeast. Stir to dissolve the yeast and allow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes.
• Using a sieve or strainer, sift about half of the flour over the yeast mixture and mix with your hands until smooth. Add the oil, honey and kosher salt. Sift over the remaining flour and mix to combine.
• Lightly flour a cutting board or flat surface. Turn the dough onto the floured area and knead until the dough is smooth and the ingredients are fully integrated, 3 to 5 minutes. Lightly oil a bowl and place the dough inside. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest in a warm place until it has doubled in volume, about 1 1/2 hours.
• For the mustard sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk the mustard, honey, hot sauce and vinegar with a splash of warm water. Taste for seasoning. Set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• For the pretzel-ish pigs in a blanket: Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper sprayed with nonstick cooking spray or silicone baking mats and set aside. Sprinkle some flour on a flat surface. Roll the dough out into an 18-by-13-inch rectangle about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Cut into 2 1/4-inch squares. Roll each mini hot dog in a single piece of the dough. Pinch the seam and ends to firmly close, tucking the excess on the ends underneath. Place each wrapped hot dog seam-side down on one of the prepared baking sheets.
• For the baking soda bath: Prepare a third baking sheet or large platter with parchment. In a medium pot, bring about 6 cups of water to a boil over medium heat. Slowly whisk in the baking soda a bit at a time. Working in batches, use a slotted spoon to drop each pig in a blanket into the water for 30 seconds, then remove and transfer to the prepared third baking sheet or platter.
• Transfer the pigs in a blanket in a single layer back onto the original baking sheets, allowing some space between each. Sprinkle the dogs with the pretzel salt or kosher salt. Bake in the center of the oven until the pastry is nicely browned, 25 to 30 minutes. Lightly brush with melted butter before serving. Serve with the mustard sauce on the side.
