Ingredients

• 3.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 packet instant yeast
• 1 cup warm water
• 0.25 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 8 pieces hot dogs
• 0.25 cup baking soda
• 4 cups water
• 1 piece egg yolk
• 2 teaspoons coarse salt
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon curry powder
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, melted butter, milk, sugar, and yeast. Stir lightly and let sit for 5 minutes to activate the yeast.

Step 2

Add the flour and kosher salt to the bowl, and mix until the dough forms into a ball. Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes on a floured surface until smooth and elastic.

Step 3

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope about 12-14 inches long. Wrap each hot dog with the dough rope, tucking the ends underneath to secure.

Step 6

In a medium saucepan, bring the baking soda and 4 cups of water to a low boil. Using a slotted spoon, dip each pretzel-wrapped hot dog into the solution for 20-30 seconds, then place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Whisk the egg yolk with 1 tablespoon of water, and brush the mixture over each pretzel dog. Sprinkle coarse salt on top.

Step 8

Bake the pretzel dogs for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up. Let them cool slightly while making the dipping sauce.

Step 9

To make the sweet curry mayo, combine mayonnaise, curry powder, honey, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Stir until smooth.

Step 10

Serve the pretzel dogs warm with the sweet curry mayo on the side for dipping. Enjoy your movie night!
