 Categories: Breads, Beef, Snacks
      Yield: 8 servings
 
      4 ts Active dry yeast
      1 ts Granulated sugar
  1 1/4 c  Warm water (110°F/43°C)
      4 c  All-purpose flour
    1/4 c  Light brown sugar
  1 1/2 ts Salt
      1 tb Olive oil; to grease mixing
           - bowl
           Beef, Turkey Tofu-pups
      1 lg Egg
           +=BEATEN WITH=+
      2 ts Water
           Sesame seeds
           Poppy seeds
           Wheat germ
 
  In a small bowl or measuring cup, dissolve 1 teaspoon
  granulated sugar, and 4 teaspoons yeast in 1 1/4 cups
  warm water. Place the bowl or cup in a warm spot for 10
  ~15 minutes, or until the yeast has become foamy. Talk
  to kids about why the yeast is foaming. The yeast
  gobbles up the sugar producing carbon dioxide and MORE
  yeast. Carbon dioxide creates bubbles and makes the
  yeast look foamy. Let kids smell the bowl of yeast -
  there is a strong bread-like odor as the carbon dioxide
  gases are being released.
  
  While your yeast is foaming, measure 4 cups of flour, 1
  1/4 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 cup brown sugar into a large
  mixing bowl. Stir to combine and make a well (or hole)
  in the center of your flour.
  
  Once your yeast is frothy, it's time to make the dough.
  Pour the yeast mixture into the well. Mix the yeast and
  flour mixture to form dough. If the dough is too wet,
  you can add a few tablespoons of flour.
  
  Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5
  to 7 minutes, or until the texture of the dough is
  smooth. Kneading the dough is lots of fun for kids. Have
  them wash and thoroughly dry their hands, then flour
  them to keep the dough from sticking.
  
  Use olive oil to grease a large mixing bowl and transfer
  your ball of dough to the bowl. Roll the dough around
  the bowl, coating it with olive oil. Place a kitchen
  towel, or plastic wrap over your bowl and set it in a
  warm place to rise. The dough will need to rise for 1
  hour, or until it has doubled in size.
  
  While your dough is rising set the oven @ 450°F/232°C
  Cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper and prep your
  hot dogs. If you are using regular hot dogs, cut them
  cross-wise, into 2 or 3 pieces.
  
  Once your dough has risen, punch it down and divide it
  into 12 -15 pieces. Roll these pieces into long 12"
  ropes. Use a kitchen scissor to cut the ropes into 3
  shorter ropes. * Kids will love rolling dough into ropes
  and snakes!
  
  Wrap the pretzel dough ropes around your hot dogs and
  place them on parchment covered cookie sheets.
  
  Bake the hot dog dippers for 8 minutes, or until the
  pretzels are slightly browned and the hot dogs are
  heated.
