In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, 0.5 cups sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
In a separate bowl, combine the warm milk, melted butter, and the egg. Mix well.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8 equal portions.
Roll each portion into a rope long enough to wrap around the hot dog entirely. Wrap each hot dog with a dough rope, making sure to seal the ends underneath.
Place the wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix 1 teaspoon of cinnamon with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Set aside.
Brush each dough-wrapped hot dog with egg wash, then sprinkle generously with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Bake the Sugar Dogs for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top and cooked through.
Allow them to cool slightly before serving warm.
