Bacon-Wrapped Pretzel Dog Bites
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 12 mini hot dogs
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
- 12 slices bacon
- 1/4 cup baking soda
- 1 egg, beaten
- Coarse salt, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut each slice of bacon in half lengthwise to make 24 thin strips.
- Wrap each mini hot dog with a strip of bacon, securing with a toothpick if necessary.
- Open the can of biscuit dough and separate into 12 pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope and wrap it around a bacon-wrapped hot dog, leaving the ends exposed to resemble a mummy. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Carefully add the baking soda and stir until dissolved.
- Using a pastry brush, brush each pretzel dog bite with the beaten egg, then carefully spoon the baking soda water over each one, making sure they are evenly coated.
- Sprinkle each pretzel dog bite with coarse salt.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the pretzel dough is golden brown and the bacon is crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy these delicious bacon-wrapped pretzel dog bites as a savory snack or appetizer!
