EVERYTHING PRETZEL HOT DOGS

• 1
  In a large bowl, combine warm milk and brown sugar, whisk until dissolved. Sprinkle yeast on top and let stand until foamy, about 4-5 minutes.
• 2
  Stir canola oil and 1 1/2 c flour. Remove from bowl and knead in the remaining 1 1/4c flour for about 4 minutes. If dough is really sticky, add additional 2 Tbs of flour.

  Transfer dough to oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

  Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line sheet pans with parchment and grease lightly.
• 5
  Punch down dough and turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Cut dough into eight equal portions and roll each piece into 16 inch long rope.

  Wrap each hot dog with dough and press each end to secure tightly. Place on greased parchment trays and let dough rise again for 20 minutes.

  Heat 1 qt water in large saucepan, add baking soda and reduce heat to medium. Add two to three pretzel dogs to pot and let simmer gently for 30 seconds. Remove from pan and let drain on paper towel. Transfer back to sheet pans. You may need to adjust dough on the hot dog if it came loose while in the baking soda water.
