Step-by-Step Instructions for Pretzel Dogs

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to a rectangle about ¼ inch thick and slice into 15 equal strips.
Wrap each sausage frank tightly in a dough strip, pinching the ends to seal.
In a saucepan, bring 5 cups of water to a light boil; add ¼ cup of baking soda and stir.
Boil wrapped sausages for 20-30 seconds, then remove and place on the baking sheet.
Brush each pretzel dog with egg wash and sprinkle with kosher salt.
Bake in the oven for 20-21 minutes until golden brown.
Alternatively, air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 4-6 minutes until golden brown.
Cool for a few minutes on a wire rack, then serve warm.
