Kids and grownups alike will fall in love with these pretzel dogs. Each hot dog is wrapped in a pretzel that is rolled in crispy fried jalapeños or crispy fried onions. This fun twist on pigs-in-a-blanket will make a great game-day appetizer.
If you are gearing up for the big game and are planning to host a tailgating or big game party, then you should definitely plan to add these pretzel dogs to your game-day menu.
These pretzel-wrapped hot dogs are quick and easy to make using store-bought pizza dough, crispy fried Jalapeño or fried onions, and your favorite hot dogs.
You'll dip the pizza dough-wrapped hot dogs in a baking soda bath before baking them to give the dough a bakery-fresh pretzel flavor like my Football-Shaped Soft Pretzels.
Then, you'll roll the pretzel dogs in crushed fried jalapeños to give them a spicy flavor and crispy texture. You can use fried onions if you prefer a milder-tasting pretzel dog.
I arranged the pretzel dogs coming out of football field paper bowls which were sturdy enough to keep the hot dogs upright so they were the star of the show at my game day party.
Have fun making them for your football party guests.
