💡 Tips
1. Use Different Types Of Sausages
While this recipe calls for hot dogs, you can easily switch things up by using other types of sausages. Try using bratwurst, smoked sausage, or even vegetarian sausages for a different flavor.
2. Add Some Spice
For those who like a bit of heat, consider adding some hot sauce or chili flakes to the egg wash before brushing it onto the hot dogs. This will give the pretzel dogs an extra kick of flavor.
3. Serve With Different Dipping Sauces
While ketchup and mustard are classic dipping sauces for hot dogs, consider branching out and trying some more creative options.
Garlic aioli, honey mustard, or even a jalapeno cheese sauce would be delicious with these pretzel dogs. Experiment and find your favorite!
4. Add Toppings
After air frying the pretzel dogs, you can make them even tastier with a variety of toppings.
Some great options include chopped onions, diced tomatoes, sauerkraut, or even bacon bits. The possibilities are endless, so get creative!
5. Make Mini Pretzel Dogs
If you’re serving these pretzel dogs as an appetizer or party snack, consider making mini pretzel dogs instead of regular big ones.
Just cut the hot dogs into smaller pieces and use less pizza dough to wrap them around. This way, your guests can enjoy them in bite-sized portions.
6. Serve With A Side Salad
While these air fryer bagel dogs are delicious on their own, you can also serve them with a side salad.
A simple green salad with a vinaigrette dressing would be a great accompaniment to these savory pretzel dogs.
