Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 cups Warm milk (110°F/43°C)
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large Egg
- 8 pieces Hot dogs
- 1 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Additional granulated sugar for topping
- 1 portions Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water)
Instructions
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 375°F (190°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.
