Recipe Information
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
Instructions
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.
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.
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.
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
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.
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.
Whisk the egg yolk with 1 tablespoon of water, and brush the mixture over each pretzel dog. Sprinkle coarse salt on top.
Bake the pretzel dogs for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up. Let them cool slightly while making the dipping sauce.
To make the sweet curry mayo, combine mayonnaise, curry powder, honey, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Stir until smooth.
Serve the pretzel dogs warm with the sweet curry mayo on the side for dipping. Enjoy your movie night!
