jalapeño pretzel dogs with cheddar beer sauce
In the last seven days all I’ve given you is trashed up cheeseburgers and now hot dogs, but I swear it’s not my plan to hold my own white trash cookout. If I do though (obviously the best kind) you are all invited. Bring your solo cups. But while we’re on the subject of that I’m also kinda ready to head over to an Auntie Ann’s kiosk and get one of their buttery pretzel dogs dunked in mustard. Ah so good. You can come there with me too. I’ve eaten my fair share of pretzel dogs, but after making them at home It may be impossible for me to eat a hot dog on a bun from now on.

How To Make jalapeño pretzel dogs with cheddar beer sauce
-
1In a large bowl, combine water, yeast, honey and olive oil.
-
2Mix with a spoon, then let sit until foamy, about 10 minutes.
-
3Add the mixture to the bowl of your electric mixer and add in the flour, jalapeño, salt and melted butter.
-
4Knead on low speed for 4 to 5 minutes, until the dough comes together and is pulling away from the bowl.
-
5It will still be slightly sticky.
-
6Place the dough in a well-oiled bowl and cover.
-
7Set in a warm place to rise for about an hour or until it's doubled in size.
-
8Preheat oven to 450 degrees
-
9Punch down the dough and turn it over on a floured surface, kneading a few times with your hands.
-
10Cut/break apart the dough into 10 equal parts and roll them into strips that are about 12 to 16 inches in length
-
11Wrap each strip of dough around the hot dog, starting a the bottom.
-
12Pinch together the tops and bottoms so the dough stays together.
-
13Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil and add baking soda.
-
14Drop in each hot dog (1 or 2 at a time) and boil for 30 to 45 seconds.
-
15Place the dough covered dogs on a nonstick baking sheet or a sheet covered with parchment paper.
-
16Brush the tops of each with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse salt.
-
17Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the dough is deep golden in color.
-
18Serve with the beer dip and whatever condiments you like!
-
19Cheddar Beer Sauce: Heat a small saucepan over medium heat and add butter.
-
20Once it's sizzling, whisk in the flour and cook for a minute or two until it's golden and fragrant.
-
