Dust the cutting board with flour, and cut the pizza dough into 4 equal pieces.
3. Step
Roll each piece of dough out until it’s a 12-inch (30 cm) rope. It’s okay if the dough naturally shrinks.
4. Step
Take the rolled out dough and wrap it around a hot dog in a spiraling motion, leaving room on the ends.
5. Step
In a pot, combine the baking soda with the water and bring it to a boil.
6. Step
Cook each pretzel dog in the solution for 30 seconds each. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a baking tray.
7. Step
Brush each pretzel dog with the egg wash.
8. Step
Top the pretzels with your toppings of choice.
9. Step
For sea salt, sprinkle the salt on top. For jalapeño cheddar, top the pretzel with cheddar cheese, then follow with jalapeños. For garlic butter, combine the butter, garlic, and parsley, and brush on top. For pizza, top with mozzarella and follow with pepperoni.
10. Step
Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until it reaches a deep golden brown.
