Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl – flour, salt, brown sugar, and yeast.
- Add the warm water slowly and stir until it forms a sticky dough. Knead on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and soft.
- Let the dough rest and rise for 10 minutes, while you bring 2 cups of water to a boil and add the baking soda.
- Divide the dough into 8 pieces and roll each into a long rope. Wrap each rope around a hot dog fully.
- Dunk each wrapped dog into the boiling baking soda water for 30 seconds, then place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of each pretzel dog.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the pretzel dogs are golden and melty.
- Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse salt for serving.
