Bacon-Wrapped Pretzel Dogs
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 8 hot dogs
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 8 slices of 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.
- Wrap each hot dog with a slice of bacon, securing the ends with toothpicks. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a medium saucepan, bring 6 cups of water to a boil. Carefully add the baking soda to the boiling water.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles. Starting at the wide end of each triangle, wrap the dough around the bacon-wrapped hot dogs, tucking the ends underneath.
- Carefully place each wrapped hot dog into the boiling water for 30 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon and return to the baking sheet.
- Brush the wrapped hot dogs with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse salt.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the dough is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy these delicious bacon-wrapped pretzel dogs on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce.
The history of pretzel dogs wrapped in bacon can be traced back to the fusion of two beloved American classics: the pretzel and the hot dog. This indulgent creation combines the salty, chewy goodness of a pretzel with the savory, smoky flavor of bacon, encasing a juicy hot dog at its core. Chefs across the United States have embraced this decadent treat, with variations popping up in restaurants from coast to coast. The best versions of this dish can be found in artisanal bakeries and gourmet hot dog joints, where skilled chefs meticulously wrap each hot dog in bacon before baking to crispy perfection. The key to nailing this dish lies in achieving the perfect balance of flavors and textures, ensuring that the pretzel dough is soft and pillowy, the bacon is crispy, and the hot dog is juicy. For a unique twist, some chefs opt to infuse the pretzel dough with beer for an added depth of flavor, while others experiment with different types of gourmet sausages to elevate the classic hot dog. Whether enjoyed as a game day snack or a guilty pleasure, pretzel dogs wrapped in bacon are a true indulgence for food lovers everywhere.
