Tips!

Depending on how hot your stove gets, I dipped the cut up pieces of dough into the baking soda/water mix for like 15 seconds. Make sure you dry off the dough on a paper towel before you pop it onto the parchment paper to cook.
I used pre-made pizza dough stretched out and rolled. Cut the pieces into small chunks and make sure the dough wraps around the mini hot dog fully.
Add the seasoning after you coat the pretzel pigs in a blanket in your egg wash.
Keep an eye on the pretzels in the oven. They cook fast so the full 18 minutes might not be necessary.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce!
