Bacon Cheddar Pretzel Wrapped Hot Dogs (FOOD PHOTO SHOOT)

[gringalicious]

Hey, hey, hey!! Today is National Hot Dog Day, my friends, and I've got some seriously dressed up dog!

Cheddar is something that is way under appreciated in the United States. It is so widely available. Americans eat a lot of it without giving a thought to the fact that somewhere out there on the planet there are many people who have never even heard of it, much less tasted it.

It’s hard to imagine, I know. My family somehow survived for almost a year without cheddar. There were some close calls though. Unfulfilled grilled cheese cravings have been known to be lethal and life without real macaroni and cheese is almost unlivable.

I think cheddar deserves more respect. I may even write a song about it. An ode to its spectacular sharpness and melty goodness. I should probably add in a line or two about beer and how good it is in bread and then a few things about bacon for the guys.

These pretzel dogs are the perfect way to showcase the amazing flavors of cheddar, beer bread, and of course bacon. Okay, so these probably won’t win any awards for health but they are major crowd-pleasers. No worries about too many leftovers.

As always, the recipe is available upon request. The first request gets an upvote.

ALL CONTENT IS MINE AND ORIGINAL! All of these food photos were taken with my Nikon D5300 and my favorite Lens, the Nikon AF-S FX NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G. You can find out more in my INTRO POST. And by the way, my intro post did a huge $0.21

Looks delicious. Share the recipe, please :)

[gringalicious]

Here it is, my friend @ivanpopov!

Ingredients

12 ounces (1 bottle) beer
4 teaspoons active dry yeast
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons butter, melted
5 - 5 1/2 cups flour
water for boiling
1/4 cup teaspoon baking soda
1 egg plus 2 tablespoons water
9 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
18 hot dogs

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, heat beer to 110°-115° F; remove from heat. Stir in yeast until dissolved. In large bowl combine butter, sugar, salt, and 4 cups flour. Add remaning flour as needed until dough forms a ball (the dough will be a little sticky from the beer). Turn out onto lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic. Add cheese and bacon to dough and knead until well mixed into dough. Grease a medium bowl and place dough in it. Cover with plastic wrap or towel and place in a warm place to rise until doubled in size.
2. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F. Fill wide pot about 1/3 of the way with water and add baking soda; bring to a boil. Line 2 half sheet baking pans with parchment and grease; line a third with paper towels. Divide dough into 18 balls. Stretch pretzels into ropes and twist around each dog. Dip pretzels a few at a time into boiling water and boil for 30 seconds on each side. Remove to paper towel lined pan. Repeat until all pretzels are boiled. Place pretzels on parchment lined baking sheets about 1 inch apart. Mix egg with 2 tablespoons of water; brush over tops of pretzels and sprinkle lightly with salt. Bake for 12 - 15 minutes until golden brown; remove and cool.

[deanlogic]

I guess cheddar is really underappreciated, because that is colby jack cheese in the photo and not cheddar.

Colby Jack Cheese

Cheddar Cheese

[gringalicious]

Omg, you are so right @deanlogic. Kudos for your observation skills. Haha, well I'll let you in on a little behind the scenes secret......I used all my cheddar that day in the dogs so I didn't have any for the pictures, ooops. 🙊 🙊 🙊

[heymattsokol]

These are the best way to eat hot dogs. It is all of the flavors, the perfect textures and not as hard to eat as in a regular bun.

[gringalicious]

Totally! I'm glad you appreciate these beauties, @heymattsokol! You're the best!

[nomads]

@gringalicious this is a great idea!

[gringalicious]

Awww, thank you so much @nomads and thanks for the reply! 😊😊😊

[gringalicious]

there are a couple of things you should know with 'markup' language. In order to center your photos ( highly recommended ) you need to use the following:

BEFORE the link to the photo and AFTER the link. here is an example -

[nomads]

Thanks for the Tips!

[gringalicious]

Ok, another one is size of font which you can control with 'header size.' Por ejemplo, you can use

STEEM ON!!

God damn it, i am so hungry and I got another hour before dinner, now I got to see this?

Glad I could be here for you! Thanks @fiveboringgames

[drstevegilbert]

A big thumbs up on this one. This would be ideal for tailgating! And you have one of my favorite beers in the background! Blue Moon would go very well with this!!! Thanks for the mouth watering start to the day!

[gringalicious]

Yup, Blue Moon knows how to do it, don't they? Thanks for the great comment @drstevegilbert!

[healthyrecipe]

Wow, I loved the pairing with the blue moon Honey Wheat the most. The combination of the smokiness and saltiness from the hot dogs, cheese and bacon is such a good match for that beer. Like Pizza and beer but better and more unique. I like it, I like it. :)

[gringalicious]

Fantastic commenting @healthyrecipe. You're a good writer for sure

[lifes-a-donut]

My boys LOVE these!

[gringalicious]

Have you made them for your boys @lifes-a-donut?

[lifes-a-donut]

No, But I would love to try!

[cryptopie]

Awesome idea @gringalicious for that hotdog meal in itself.

[gringalicious]

Thanks @cryptopie. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment

[paradise-found]

Hi Gringa!! Looks yummy!! I want one!!
Can I ask you a question, are you a fan of the NFL?

[gringalicious]

No, not really into sports, why?

[paradise-found]

You could really help me out, and at the same time entertain the Steemians!!
I'm writing sports for the @thedailysteemit!!
And I'm doing a NFL pick'em. You will be in good company, Papa-pepper is doing week one. I'm just asking you to guess the winners for week two. It will be fun!!
I had the idea that people would be interested in a Steemit-Celebrity doing the picks along with me. No pressure. Just to help the Steemit online news paper get started!
I consider you a Steemit Celebrity!! PLEASE!!

[johnnyray]
