This recipe originally came from my friend Steph at Girl vs. Dough. She knows her way around a pretzel, and these cheeky pretzel dogs are the proof!
About This Delicious Pretzel Dog Recipe
These pretzel dogs are mini, salty, carby, cheese-and-hot-dog-stuffed goodness. It’s no surprise that these things, when combined, are delicious. I mean, how can you go wrong with melted American cheese oozing out of a hot dog wrapped in soft pretzel dough? That is a rhetorical question. This recipe still makes me giddy every time I make it (which is more often that I’d care to admit considering cocktail wieners and processed cheese are involved, ahem… Food Blogger of the Year, right here). And I think it’ll make you giddy, too, once you give it a try. Don’t be afraid of the idea of making your own pretzel dough – I’ve been baking bread for a long, loooooong time (OK like five years, but still) and it maintains its status of being one of the easiest doughs to make and bake. Plus, homemade pretzels. Enough said. So while Erin is probably eating her way through France with fresh baguettes, wine, fine cheeses and chocolates (at least this is what I imagine everyone eats over there), we can live it up here stateside with cheese-stuffed pretzel dogs. Try not to be too jealous of us, Erin!
