Ingredients

  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons active dry yeast 2 packets
  • 6 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 4 tablespoons butter melted
  • 4 1/2 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons fine salt
  • 1/3 cup baking soda
  • 3 cups warm water
  • 1/4 cup Coarse salt
  • 8 tablespoons butter melted
  • 12 hot dogs

Instructions

  • Warm up the milk in the microwave for just about one and a half minutes. I use my pyrex measuring cups to heat it in. It should be about 110º. If it’s too hot it will kill the yeast. You should be able to comfortably keep your finger in it.
  • Stir in the yeast and one tablespoon of the brown sugar and let it sit for about 10 minutes.
  • Add the butter and remaining sugar. Add the flour about 1 cup at a time and the add the fine salt. Kneed for about 10 minutes with a stand mixer or by hand.
  • Put it in a greased bowl and cover with greased cling wrap. Let rise for 1 hour in a moist, warm place until doubled in size.
  • Preheat the oven to 450º. Punch down dough.
  • Combine the warm water and baking soda in a wide bowl.
  • Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces.
  • Use your hands to roll and stretch the pieces of dough into ropes, about 12 inches long.
  • Wrap one piece of dough around each hot dog. Press the ends of the dough together to hold in place. Then dip in the baking soda water.
  • Place on a greased baking sheet and sprinkle with coarse salt.
  • Bake for about 6-10 minutes or until browned. Dip each in the melted butter while hot.
