INGREDIENTS:
18.5 ounce package pizza dough
5 cups water
1/3 cup baking soda
6 hot dogs
8 ounce block cheddar cheese
1 egg
1 tablespoon water for the egg wash
2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
flour for dusting work surface
12 toothpicks for securing dough
INSTRUCTIONS:
Allow pizza dough to come to room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour. If dough is too cold, it will spring back when rolled and will be difficult to shape.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking pan with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray.
Roll the pizza dough into a rectangle at least 24-inches long and about 1/8-inch thick. Dust the work surface with a light coating of flour if the dough sticks and is hard to work with. Using a pizza cutter or a knife, cut out 6 strips (about 1/2-inch wide) lengthwise.
Quarter the block of cheese lengthwise, then cut each in half to yield 8 strips. You will need only 6 of these strips, leaving 2 unused. You will need only 6 of these strips, leaving 2 unused.
Starting at the tip of the hot dog, slice it in half lengthwise, stopping 1/2-inch short on the opposite end, leaving it intact. Place a strip of cheese in the middle, sandwiching it inside the hot dog halves. Cut off the excess cheese sticking out at the tip.
Add 5 cups of water to a medium saucepan. Add the baking soda. Stir until the baking soda dissolves. Bring water to a gentle boil.
Meanwhile, take one strip of dough and wrap it around a hot dog by starting at the open end of the hot dog and working your way toward the other in a coiling motion. Tuck the loose tip of dough underneath an adjacent strip of dough on both ends, then secure with a toothpick. Repeat wrapping the remaining hot dogs.
Carefully place one hot dog into the gently boiling water. Boil for 30 seconds. Using a large slotted spoon or spatula, remove the hot dog. Allow excess water to drip. Place on a paper towel lined surface. Repeat until all of the hot dogs are boiled. Remove all toothpicks. Transfer hot dogs onto the parchment lined baking sheet.
In a small bowl, add 1 tablespoon water to egg, beating well to make an egg wash. Brush onto the pretzel dogs. Sprinkle some everything bagel onto each dog. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown.
To push any cheese that has oozed out back into the hot dog after it is baked, let the cheese to cool off slightly for a minute or two. This allows it to firm up slightly to make it easier to work with. Using a chopstick or butter knife, push the cheese back into the hot dog.
Makes 6 hot dogs.
