These Hot Dogs On A Stick are reminiscent of the kind of fun-to-eat street food you might find at a carnival or a fair. They’re one of those quick meals that are fun to make and eat. Use a quality hot dog of your choice I’m a bit partial to Nathan’s for these, then wrap in frozen bread dough. Using thawed frozen dinner rolls gives them the flavor of being wrapped in pretzel dough. It’s simple kid friendly food and they can help, too. It never ceases to amaze me whose first to grab one of these to eat. Serve with a variety of seasoned ketchup and prepared flavors of mustard and let the kids go to town dipping into their favorites. I’m willing to bet, it’s the big kids that’ll go first.

Many hot dogs have been wrapped in crescent rolls. This dough gives a more pretzel dog flavor, though.
Whitney Pulliam says
Could you use Cresent rolls?
Kari La Mee says
WOW I do prefer the pretzel taste over the crescent roll. My nieces and I will have fun trying this one.
Thanks a Bunch Melissa, have a great weekend

I love this simple recipe Melissa. I’m going to sprinkle coarse salt on top of the dough and omit the sesame seeds. Can’t wait to be invited to bring a dish somewhere. It’s becomming that time of year (well maybe not yet- but soon).
Melissa says
Hi Linda, coarse sea salt will make this taste just like a pretzel. Fun and easy eats. ☺
Dorothy Sellers says
Why the 6 hot dog buns? No where in directions does it use them?
Melissa says
There are no buns in this recipe. Are you referring to the bun length hotdogs?
