Description

Take boring hot dogs, wrap them in soft but chewy pretzel dough and stuff them with cream cheese, jalapeños, and Cheddar cheese. They are definitely worth the time and the effort.

Ingredients

• 1 T. yeast
• 1 c. hot water
• 1/4 c. olive oil
• 3 T. white sugar
• 3 c. all-purpose flour
• 1 t. salt
• 4 jalapeños, finely chopped
• 4 T. cream cheese
• 2 1/2 c. freshly shredded Cheddar cheese
• 12 hot dogs, beef or pork
• 8 c. water
• 4 T. baking soda
• 1 egg, beaten
• Kosher salt

Steps

1. Add yeast, 1 c. hot water, oil and sugar to a large bowl; stir.
2. In another bowl, combine flour and salt; add to yeast mixture.
3. When dough forms a ball, place on the clean counter; knead for a few minutes until smooth. Divide dough into twelfths; let rest on the counter while preparing the jalapeño and cheese.
