You can halve this recipe. Baked and cooled pretzel dogs may be
frozen. Reheat in the oven at 350F for 10 to 15 minutes.
Bread maker: Combine the water, sugar, salt, yeast, flour and melted
butter in the pan. Run the dough cycle. When complete, skip down to
making the baking soda bath.
Stand mixer: Add the water, sugar, salt, and yeast in the mixer bowl.
Stir by hand or on low to combine and leave undisturbed 4 to 5
minutes until bubbly.
Add the flour and melted butter and knead with dough hook until the
dough just comes together. Increase speed to medium and knead until
dough is smooth and pulls away from the sides of the bowl, about 4 to
5 minutes.
Remove the dough from the bowl, spray it with non-stick spray (or
lightly oil it), return the dough to the bowl and cover with a tea
towel. Let rise 1 hour or until doubled in size in a warm, draft-free
place. You can use the oven with the light on but do not turn on the oven.
Baking soda bath: Bring 10 cups of water and 1/2 cup baking soda to a
rolling boil in an 8-quart saucepan or roasting pan. While the water
is heating, preheat oven to 450F and line two baking sheets with
parchment paper and set aside.
Turn the dough out onto an oiled work surface and divide it into 15
pieces, about 75g each and about golf ball size.
Make pretzel dogs: Roll each dough ball into a rope and wrap it
around the full length of the sausage, pinching the ends onto
themselves to prevent them unwrapping.
Make pretzels: Shape the dough into a 24-inch rope, then holding the
ends of the rope cross them over each other and press onto the bottom
of the U in order to form the shape of a pretzel.
One by one place the place the pretzel dogs into the boiling soda
water for 30 seconds. Using a large slotted spoon or spatula remove
them from the water and place onto the prepared baking sheet.
Brush on with beaten egg yolk and water mixture and sprinkle with salt.
Place in oven and bake at 450F until golden brown in color, about 12 minutes.
