Bagel Dogs
- 4 cups Bread Flour
- 1 Tablespoon Sugar
- 1- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 Tablespoon Vegetable Or Olive Oil
- 2 teaspoons Instant Yeast
- 1- 1/2 cup Warm Water
- 10 whole Polish Sausages Or Hot Dogs
- Poppyseed Or Sesame Seed For Sprinkling
- Mix all ingredients but the sausages, and only 1 1/4 cups of the water into a large bowl.
- You can add the additional water if it looks like not all the flour will mix or the dough is extra stiff.
- (I end up using about 1 1/3 cups, but altitude, indoor temp, etc may change it).
- Dough will be sticky.
- Tip dough onto clean counter and knead about 10 minutes or until dough is smooth.
- Cut dough into even pieces and let rest 10-20 minutes.
- (10 for bagel dogs since smaller dough is better, but 8-10 regular bagels can be made with the dough.)
- Using a rolling pin, roll out each piece of dough into a long rectangular piece twice as long as the hotdog/sausage.
- Wrap diagonally across the hotdog, making sure there is overlap, then tuck the ends in when done.
- Let rest 5 minutes.
- While resting, boil a large pot of water on stove and preheat oven to 425.
- Once boiling is reached, place bagel dogs in water for one minute each, then let them sit on a tea towel/paper towel to dry for 30 seconds.
- For authenticity, sprinkle top with poppyseeds.
- You can also use dried onion, sesame seeds, kosher salt, or anything else.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes until bagels are golden, take out and let cool.
- If you didnt wrap them tight enough with good overlap, they can unwind a bit, as shown for the middle one the picture above (I was impatient).
- You can also make the dough smaller if you want to wrap smokies or other sausages.
