Copycat Auntie Anne's Pretzel Dogs Recipe
Description
These Copycat Auntie Anne's Pretzel Dogs are all-beef hot dogs wrapped in soft pretzel dough, brushed with a quick baking soda wash, and air fried until golden brown in 20 minutes. No yeast, no boiling, and they taste just like the mall.
Ingredients
- 8 all-beef hot dogs
- 13.8 ounces refrigerated pizza dough, or 1 can crescent dough sheet
- 2 tablespoons baking soda
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 to 2 teaspoons coarse pretzel salt or kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
- Stir the 2 tablespoons baking soda into the 1 cup warm water until dissolved.
- Unroll the dough and cut into 8 strips about 1 inch wide. Pat the 8 hot dogs dry.
- Wrap a strip of dough in a spiral around each hot dog, overlapping slightly, and pinch the ends to seal.
- Brush each wrapped dog all over with the baking soda water. Wait 1 minute, then brush with the beaten egg and sprinkle with salt.
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F. Spray the basket or line with parchment. Arrange the pretzel dogs in a single layer with space between them.
- Air fry for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway, until deep golden brown.
- Brush immediately with the 2 tablespoons melted butter and serve with cheese dip or marinara.
Equipment
- Pastry Brush
- Pizza cutter or sharp knife
- Small Bowl
- Parchment Paper or Cooking Spray
Notes
For mini pretzel dogs, cut each hot dog into thirds and air fry 6 to 7 minutes. Store leftovers in the refrigerator up to 3 days; reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3 to 4 minutes.
