Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 cups Warm milk (110°F/43°C)
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large Egg
• 8 pieces Hot dogs
• 1 teaspoons Cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Additional granulated sugar for topping
• 1 portions Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, 0.5 cups sugar, salt, and instant yeast.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, combine the warm milk, melted butter, and the egg. Mix well.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Step 4

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 7

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8 equal portions.

Step 8

Roll each portion into a rope long enough to wrap around the hot dog entirely. Wrap each hot dog with a dough rope, making sure to seal the ends underneath.

Step 9

Place the wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 10

In a small bowl, mix 1 teaspoon of cinnamon with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Set aside.

Step 11

Brush each dough-wrapped hot dog with egg wash, then sprinkle generously with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Step 12

Bake the Sugar Dogs for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top and cooked through.

Step 13

Allow them to cool slightly before serving warm.
