Ingredients

  • bread flour - 3 ¾ cup (500 g)
  • yeast - 1 package
  • salt - ½ TSP
  • butter - 3 ½ tablespoon (50 g) room temperature
  • milk - 1 cup (250 ml) warm
  • water - 3 quarts (3 liter) boiling
  • baking soda - 5 tbsp
  • Egg yolk - mixed with a little water
  • turkey cheese dogs - 8
  • turkey sausage - 8 sun dried tomato
  • pretzel salt - 2 tablespoons
  • black sesame seeds - 2 teaspoons (optional)
  • Cayenne - sprinkle (optional)
  • tuscan seasoning - 2 teaspoons (optional) basil, oregano, rosemary, garlic, dried red bell peppers

Hot Mustard Sauce

  • yellow mustard - ½ cup
  • hot sauce - few dashes (To taste)
  • brown sugar - 2 teaspoons

Tuscan Sauce

  • pizza sauce - ½ cup
  • parmesan cheese - sprinkle for topping

Instructions

  • Preparation:
  • Step1: Sift the flour mixed with salt into a bowl and make a small hole in the middle. Thinly slice butter and place around the hole.
  • Dissolve the fresh yeast in the warm milk and start pouring into the flour, mixing at the same time.
  • Knead the dough by hand for at least 5 minutes. Dough will be quite firm and smooth and not sticky at all. Form a dough ball and let it rest covered for about 30 minutes. ( I covered my dough for one hour until my dough doubled)
  • Place the dough on a work surface and cut into 16 equal pieces. Form the dough into 16 long rolls.
  • Butter the baking pan. (Do not use parchment paper!)
  • Boil the water and add the baking soda. Adding soda to the boiling water will make quite a reaction, so be careful!!! Let the water simmer.
  • Grill your hotdogs and or sausages in a pan or on your grill. Preheat your oven to 395 degree F (200 degree Celsius)
  • Wrap the pretzel dough around each cooked cheesy turkey hot dogs/sun dried tomato turkey sausage and pinch the ends so they do not come undone during the boiling or baking process. I like to leave a little of the hot dog peaking through on each side and just wrap in the centre.
  • Place each pretzel, using a slotted spoon, in the boiling water bath solution for about 30 seconds. Remove and place buttered baking sheet.
  • Beat egg and water and brush on top of your twisted dogs. Garnish with pretzel salt. We garnished the cheesy dogs with black sesame seeds and cayenne pepper and the sun dried tomato turkey twisted dogs with Tuscan seasoning.
  • Bake your twisted dogs for 12-14 minutes or until nice and golden brown.
  • Prepare the dipping sauces.
  • Hot Mustard Sauce: Place yellow mustard, hot sauce and brown sugar in a small bowl and mix.
  • Pizza sauce: Heat up prepared canned sauce and top with grated parmesan cheese or please visit https://www.hwcmagazine.com/mains/beef/spaghetti-and-meatballs-with-grandmas-sauce/ for a great basic tomato sauce.
  • Serve and enjoy hot from the oven with dipping sauces.
