Directions
Pretzel Dogs, I adapted this recipe from a food blog, adashofsass com, and the pretzel dough is based off of Alton Brown’s recipe from the Pretzel Logic episode of Good Eats I made these as part of our superbowl food spread, and they were enjoyed by all Prep time does not include rise time NOTE: If doubling the recipe, you do NOT need to double the baking soda dipping solution , I absolutely love pretzels, and I adore these I make them when I have people over, and served with queso cheese, they are a huge hit I always make a whole bunch, usually 50+, and they are always gone within a day , Great recipe!! My daughter and I made these today and we are in love!! She likes them better than the ones at the mall We used a whole hotdog and did some that were completely inclosed and some that were partly sticking out I decided to post your recipe on my Facebook wall aslo so others could see how great it is! Awesome job!!
