Hot Dog Stuffed Pretzels Food

PRETZEL HOT DOG BUNS

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, heat the milk, 1/2 cup water, sugar and honey to 105 to 110 degrees F. Add to the bowl of a stand mixer. Sprinkle the yeast over the water mixture and wait for at least 10 to 15 minutes until the yeast blooms.
• In a separate saucepan over medium heat, add the butter and garlic and cook until the butter is melted and the garlic is fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Combine the all-purpose flour and bread flour in a mixing bowl.
• Add the flour mixture to the bowl with the blooming yeast, and then add in the melted butter and garlic mixture. Mix on medium speed until the dough has come together and is smooth and elastic in texture and pulling away from the sides of the bowl, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Line 2 baking sheets with silicone mats. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured cutting board and form into a ball. Cut into 4 equal pieces, and then cut those in half to form 8 equal pieces. Using your hands, roll each piece into a ball and place onto a prepared baking sheet. Cover with a dish cloth and let them rest in a warm place for 12 to 15 minutes.
• Once rested, lightly dust your work surface again and roll the balls into 7-inch logs. Place onto the other prepared baking sheet, cover, place back in the warm spot and let rest for an additional 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place one oven rack high and one low. Line 2 more baking sheets with silicone mats or parchment paper.
• In a large pot, bring 8 cups water to a boil, and then add the baking soda. In batches, place the dough in the water and cook for 30 seconds on each side.
• Using a slotted spatula, remove the logs and place onto the prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle the logs with pretzel salt as they come out of the water, to ensure the salt sticks. Then cut 3 diagonal slits on top of the bread, not too deep.
• Bake for 10 to 13 minutes, rotating between the top and bottom racks of the oven halfway through the cooking.

PRETZEL DOGS

Steps:

• Sprinkle the yeast and sugar over 2 cups of warm water in a small bowl. The water should be no more than 100 degrees F (40 degrees C). Let stand for 20 minutes until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam.
• Combine the yeast mixture with the warm milk, oil, and salt in a large mixing bowl; stir well to combine. Stir in half of the flour mixture until no dry spots remain. Stir in the remaining flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. The dough should be moderately stiff and slightly sticky. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
• Spray a large bowl with cooking spray, then place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat. Cover with plastic wrap or a light cloth and let rise in a warm place (80 to 95 degrees F (27 to 35 degrees C)) until doubled in volume, about 45 minutes.
• After the dough has risen, fill a large pot with about 8 cups water, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and the baking soda and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. While the water is coming to a boil cut the the dough into 20 pieces, about the size of a golf ball. Roll each piece into a 12 inch long rope about 1 1/2 inches thick.
• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease 2 baking sheets.
• Dip a strip of dough into the boiling water using a pair of tongs, count to 5, remove it from the water, and place it on a paper towel for a few seconds. Wrap the strip around a hot dog, place on a baking sheet, and sprinkle with coarse salt. Repeat with the remaining strips of dough and hot dogs.
• Bake in a preheated oven until they are golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes.

SAUSAGE-STUFFED PRETZEL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Fill a large pot with 6 cups water and baking soda. Bring to a boil over medium high heat. Place a wire rack over a baking sheet and line a separate baking sheet with a silpat or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a medium bowl, mix the bratwurst and cheddar cheese until combined; set aside. Unroll the pizza dough with the longest side parallel to the edge of the counter. Cut the dough into 6 equal strips.
• Spoon the bratwurst and cheese mixture down the center of the dough, then fold up the edges and pinch to close tightly. Roll each into a long rope, then knot into a pretzel shape, keeping space between the dough.
• Boil the pretzels for about 30 seconds, then use a large slotted spoon to remove them from the water and drain on the wire rack. Place the pretzels on the silpat, brush with egg and sprinkle over the salt. Bake the pretzels until dark and sausage is cooked through, about 13-15 minutes.
• To make the sauce, in a medium bowl, whisk to combine the mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup and Jagermeister. Dip the pretzels in the sauce to serve.
