These are going to be a huge hit in your household. The bread is hard and salty on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside - the perfect baked pretzel dog. If you've had pretzels from those places in the mall, these are just as good (maybe better!) at a fraction of the cost. Fun for kids and adults!
Serve with your favorite dipping sauces like mustard, honey mustard or cheese dip. Yum!

How to Make Susie's Pretzel Dogs
- In a large bowl, mix about 3 cups of bread flour and the 1 tsp. of kosher salt together. Add the melted butter & yeast mixture. Add the remaining 1 1/2 cups flour a little at a time until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic (about 8-10 min). I use my Kitchen-Aid mixer with a dough hook for this.
