Instructions
Mix yeast and sugar in a bowl. Add warm water and whisk until sugar dissolves. Let yeast bloom for about 10 minutes.
Mix flour and salt in a bowl of an electric mixer. Mix chopped, cold butter into flour on low speed until mixture starts to resemble coarse crumbs.
Slowly pour yeast mixture into flour mixture and add Dijon mustard, while still mixing on low, until just combined. Using your hands, gather dough together. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead until no longer sticky, for a couple of minutes. Place in a medium bowl and cover with plastic.
Let dough rise in a warm, dry place for about an hour.
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll the dough into a log and divide it into 9 equal pieces.
Take hot dogs out of the package and dry them off with a paper towel.
Roll each piece of dough into about ¼ inch thick rope. Wrap pretzel dough around the hot dog, tucking in the ends.
Place wrapped hot dogs onto the prepared baking sheet and let them rest for 20 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
Bring a large, deep cooking pan of water to a boil and add baking soda, stir well. Boil pretzel hot dogs in batches until puffed, about 30-45 seconds.
Take out with a slopped spatula and return to the baking sheet.
Brush with butter and sprinkle with coarse salt.
Bake until golden brown, 13-15 minutes.
Dipping Sauce: Mix all ingredients for the dipping sauce in a bowl, until completely incorporated.
