Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time7 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 3/4 tspn Active Dry Yeast
  • 1 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tspn Sea Salt
  • 8 hot dogs
  • 2 tbsp butter melted
  • pretzel salt
  • cooking spray for air fryer basket

Instructions

  • Mix together the warm water and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, add the flour, sea salt and sugar. After 5 minutes, add the yeast mixture to the flour mixture.
  • Using your hands or a dough hook, knead the dough for one minute until it forms a ball.
    Transfer the dough ball to a lightly floured flat surface, such as a clean kitchen counter or cutting board. Divide the ball into 8 sections.
    Take each section and roll the dough into a long rope from 15 to 20 inches, depending on the size of your hotdog.
  • Twist the rope of dough around your hotdog four times. Pinch the ends of the rope to another piece of the pretzel rope so that your pretzel rope stays secure on the dog.
    Spray the basket of your air fryer with cooking spray. Add your pretzel dog to the basket of your air fryer. It depends on the size of your air fryer how many pretzel dogs you can fit at once, just make sure not to overcrowd the basket as the pretzel dough will expand.
  • Spray each pretzel dog lightly with cooking spray.
    Cook your pretzel dogs for 5 to 7 minutes at 390F/200C, or until lightly browned on top.
  • Once done cooking, brush with melted butter and add pretzel salt.
    Remove from the air fryer basket onto a serving plate. Best served with mustard, ketchup, cheese dipping sauce, or spicy mustard. Enjoy!

Notes

Pro Tip: This recipe can be made in the air fryer unit with a basket or the air fryer oven. If you are using the air fryer oven, use the middle rack and select the "Air Fry" function.
Pro Tip: Check your food as it cooks. Each air fryer runs a bit differently. Sometimes airfrying is a trial and error process. Check your food as it cooks to learn your air fryer better!  When cooking a new recipe or food items be sure to check your food often to help avoid over/under cooking.
