Craving a fun and nostalgic twist on hot dogs? Look no further than Homemade Bagel Dogs! These playful treats combine the juicy goodness of hot dogs with the chewy deliciousness of bagel dough. They're a fun twist on a classic that's perfect for kids and adults alike.
Place 1/3 cup hot water into a bowl. Add the yeast, sugar and oil. Add 1/2 cup flour and stir well to combine. Add the salt and stir again.
1/3 cup water, 1 teaspoon yeast, pinch sugar, 1 teaspoon olive oil, 1 cup flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt
Slowly add more flour until it comes together and doesn’t stick to your fingers. Knead the dough for 10 minutes until it is smooth and nicely pliable.
Cover the bowl with a damp kitchen towel, and let it rise for an hour.
Cut the hot dogs into three pieces per hot dog.
1 package all beef Kosher hot dogs
Gently punch down the dough. Break off ping pong ball sized pieces, and roll them in your hand. Flatten slightly with your thumb.
Pick up a piece of hot dog and roll the dough around the hot dog. Use your fingers to pinch it together at the seam and then spread it so that it covers the entire length of the hot dog.
Repeat for all 24 hot dog pieces. As you finish each bagel dog, place it on a silpat on a jelly roll pan. Once they are all completed, cover the pan with your kitchen cloth and again let them rise for an hour.
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. Remove the towel and bake them for 10 minutes until golden brown and yummy. Serve warm – some people will want ketchup and/or mustard, but they’re pretty darn good all on their own.
