Homemade Dijon Pretzel Wrapped Hot Dogs With Maple Dijon Dipping Sauce Recipes

HOMEMADE DIJON PRETZEL WRAPPED HOT DOGS WITH MAPLE DIJON DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix yeast and sugar in a bowl. Add warm water and whisk until sugar dissolves. Let yeast bloom for about 10 minutes.
• Mix flour and salt in a bowl of an electric mixer. Mix chopped, cold butter into flour on low speed until mixture starts to resemble coarse crumbs.
• Slowly pour yeast mixture into flour mixture and add Dijon mustard, while still mixing on low, until just combined. Using your hands, gather dough together. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead until no longer sticky, for a couple of minutes. Place in a medium bowl and cover with plastic.
• Let dough rise in a warm, dry place for about an hour.
• Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Roll the dough into a log and divide it into 9 equal pieces.
• Take hot dogs out of the package and dry them off with a paper towel.
• Roll each piece of dough into about ¼ inch thick rope. Wrap pretzel dough around the hot dog, tucking in the ends.
• Place wrapped hot dogs onto the prepared baking sheet and let them rest for 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
• Bring a large, deep cooking pan of water to a boil and add baking soda, stir well. Boil pretzel hot dogs in batches until puffed, about 30-45 seconds.
• Take out with a slopped spatula and return to the baking sheet.
• Brush with butter and sprinkle with coarse salt.
• Bake until golden brown, 13-15 minutes.
• Dipping Sauce: Mix all ingredients for the dipping sauce in a bowl, until completely incorporated.
