For an extra layer of flavor, try using a flavored beer such as a stout or wheat beer. Ensure your yeast is fresh for the best rise. Don't overcrowd the pot when boiling the pretzel dogs. Work in batches to maintain the water temperature. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture. They're delicious with mustard, cheese sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce!

01 Step
Recipe View Prepare the Yeast Mixture: Gently heat the beer in a saucepan over low heat until it reaches approximately 110°F (45°C). (2 minutes) Pour the warmed beer into a mixing bowl and stir in the sugar and 2 teaspoons of kosher salt. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the mixture and let it stand for about 5 minutes, or until the yeast begins to foam and bubble, indicating that it is active.
02 Step
Recipe View Make the Dough: In a bread machine, combine the bread flour and melted butter. Add the yeast mixture. Select the dough cycle and allow the machine to knead and proof the dough according to its settings. (60-90 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View Prepare for Baking: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Lightly grease two baking sheets or line them with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
04 Step
Recipe View Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Set aside.
05 Step
Recipe View Baking Soda Bath: In a large pot, combine 10 cups of water and baking soda. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil. This step is crucial for achieving the signature pretzel texture and flavor.
06 Step
Recipe View Shape the Pretzel Dogs: Once the dough cycle is complete, turn the dough out onto a lightly-oiled surface. Roll the dough into a rectangle approximately 10x20 inches in size. Using a knife or pizza cutter, slice the dough into eighteen 1-inch wide strips. Wrap each strip tightly around a hot dog in a spiral fashion, pinching the edges to seal the dough and leaving about 1/2 inch of the hot dog exposed at each end.
07 Step
Recipe View Boil the Pretzel Dogs: Carefully drop 2-3 dough-wrapped hot dogs into the boiling baking soda water for about 30 seconds. This quick bath helps to set the dough and create that characteristic pretzel chewiness.
08 Step
Recipe View Bake: Arrange the boiled pretzel dogs on the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each. Brush each pretzel dog generously with the egg yolk mixture. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup of kosher salt.
09 Step
Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 12-15 minutes, or until the pretzel dogs are golden brown and the dough is cooked through.
