Step 1
In a large bowl, mix 2.5 cups flour, 1 tablespoon instant yeast, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt. Add 1 cup warm water and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
Step 2
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
Step 3
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope about 12 inches long, then wrap it around a hot dog, pinching the ends to seal.
Step 4
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 0.25 cup baking soda. Carefully drop 2-3 wrapped hot dogs into the boiling water for 30 seconds each, then remove with a slotted spoon.
Step 5
Place the boiled pretzel dogs on a parchment-lined baking sheet. If you like, sprinkle with sesame seeds or poppy seeds. Bake at 425°F until deep golden brown, about 15 minutes.
Step 6
Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with mustard or your favorite dipping sauce.
