Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 1½ cups warm water (make sure you can comfortably stick your finger in it for a few seconds)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 package active dry yeast
- 4½ cups flour
- ¼ cup butter (melted)
- 10 cups water
- 2/3 cup baking soda
- 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
- salt (for sprinkling)
- hot dogs (the longer ones tend to work better)
Instruction
- Combine the warm water, sugar, salt, and yeast in the bowl of an electric mixer. Allow that to sit for a few minutes to let the yeast activate and start to foam. Stir in the flour and 1/4 cup of butter. Stir until the dough forms and pulls away from the sides using the dough hook.
- Spray a glass bowl with cooking spray. Place your dough into the bowl, turning once to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to double in size (typically one hour in a warm place).
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment and boil the 10 cups of water with the baking soda.
- Divide the dough into eight equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope and wrap around a hot dog, making sure to pinch the edges.
- Place each wrapped dog into the boiling water. Cook for 30 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon and place onto your prepared baking sheets. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with salt.
- Bake for 13 minutes, or until a nice golden brown.
