Pretzel hot dogs

You remember the olden days when you would go to a mall and eat pretzels along with the most saltiest dips there are on the planet . Sometimes instead of the plain pretzels you would get hot dogs in pretzels...yeah these are the ones I made today. But I made the pretzels without yeast and they were super delicious. I served them with spicy mustard and the Boar's Head Deli Style Mustard with White Wine. They were so delicious.

If you want to make the pretzel the traditional way here you go Soft Pretzels
