Easy and delicious, these Pretzel Hot Dogs combine a soft pretzel with a classic hot dog; always a favorite with kids in our home.
I love keeping game-day meals simple and fun; these Easy Pretzel Hot Dogs are one of my to-go-to’s – not only do my kids love them; I do too!
For years went through a phase when they were all under the age of 8 and hot dogs were the most requested menu item; it was a phase and it came back when they were all teens.
Years ago, my son Madden was obsessed with my neighbor Jamie’s Chili and Cheese Hot Dogs. I recently called her for the recipe and she literally couldn’t stop laughing; “Oh, Sandra how embarrassing but I use canned Hormel Chili and just normal all-beef hot dogs.” Simple and easy. I was like well I can manage that.
Then I remembered these hot dogs! I decided to surprise the kids and whip up a batch. It had been a while since we made these and they were so happy!
As my kids got holder hot dogs became a fancily dressed game-day meal.
Pair these pretzel dogs with homemade Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce. A delicious combination but another favorite here is cheese sauce; it works well too!
Perfect for making in big batches, these are great to bring along to the park, ball game, or a barbecue—and I guarantee they’ll be the first thing gone at any summer gathering!
Whether you’re looking to jazz up lunch or dinner, or wow the kids at a barbecue (with adults loving them too), these Easy Pretzel Hot Dogs are the way to go.

Easy Pretzel Hot Dogs
Ingredients
- 8 raw frozen dinner rolls defrost them according to package directions
- 8 hot dogs {all beef is our preference}
- 1/4 cup baking soda
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons water
- coarse salt
- Ketchup and/or honey mustard sauce
Instructions
- Defrost rolls according to package directions.
- Roll each dinner roll into an 18 inch rope. Wind each one around a hot dog from top to bottom.
- Press the dough onto itself at top and bottom so it doesn’t unroll.
- Boil 3 quarts of water. Carefully pour soda into boiling water. Place 2 wrapped pretzel dogs into the water for about 30 seconds. Remove with slotted spoon to a cooling rack. Repeat until all pretzel dogs are boiled. Place boiled pretzel dogs on a sprayed baking sheet.
- Combine egg and water and mix well. Brush pretzel dogs with egg wash and sprinkle with salt. Bake at 450°F 6-8 minutes or until dark golden brown. Serve with ketchup and mustard.
