2. Make ready 2 tsp granulated sugar
3. Take 1 tsp kosher salt
4. Get 1 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
5. Make ready 2 1/4 cup flour. I use bread flour
6. Take 1 tbsp melted butter
7. Take 10 cup water
8. Take 2/3 cup baking soda
9. Prepare 1 large egg, beaten well
10. Get 1 Pretzel or course kosher salt
11. Make ready 8 cheesy hot dogs or smoked sausage

DIP, DUNK, and SWIRL it all in some delish, jalapeno cheddar cheese sauce. Pretzel dogs, my how you make me love you. It's what football season is all about. Then wrap strips of dough around hot dogs and bake to beautiful in a hot oven.

Steps to make Soft Pretzel Wrapped Cheesy Dogs:

1. Combine the 3/4 cup warm water, sugar and kosher salt and mix well. Sprinkle yeast on top. Let sit about 5 minutes or until mixture starts to look foamy.
2. Add the flour and butter. Mix on low speed with dough hook attachment. Can also make in bread machine using dough setting, or knead by hand.
3. Mix on medium speed until dough pulls away from sides and is smooth. About 4 to 5 minutes.
4. Remove the dough from mixer and place in large oiled bowl. Roll around to cover dough with oil slightly.
5. Cover and let rise until double in size. Preheat oven to 450°F.
6. line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper and brush with a little oil.
7. Bring the 10 cups of water to a rolling boil and then add the baking soda. Be careful it will foam up so make sure you use deep pan.
8. Take risen dough and divide into 8 equal pieces. With your hands stretch each piece into a long rope. about 12 inches long.
9. With hands or rolling pin, roll the ropes flat. To me it looks like big noodles at this point. Starting at one end of hotdog, start rolling dough ropes around hotdogs in a spiral pattern until all the dogs are covered. I like pinching dough around ends to seal.
10. Place the pretzels into water/soda mixture one at a time for 30 seconds. Remove with slotted spoon to drain excess water from them and place back on cookie sheet lined with oiled parchment.
11. Brush dogs with egg and water mixture and sprinkle with salt to your taste.
12. Bake for !0 - 12 minutes or until browned to your liking. I like mine medium browned but it up to you. Just keep an eye out so they don't overcook.
13. When done let cool for at least 5 minutes before serving. Eat alone or with your favorite dipping sauce.
14. Can also be made with little smokies or meat of your choice cut into about 2 inch pieces. Making the bite size will produce more and are great for kids and parties.

It's what football season is all about. Then wrap strips of dough around hot dogs and bake to beautiful in a hot oven. These amazing dogs are a must for your Super Bowl party. Enjoy them with tangy mustards or a gooey cheese sauce. So, I whipped up some pretzel dough and wrapped it around a hot dog, just like the ones you find in the mall at Auntie Anne's.

Turn to Food to Boost Your Mood

A lot of us have been taught to believe that comfort foods are not good and are to be avoided. But if your comfort food is candy or junk food this can be true. Other times, however, comfort foods can be completely healthy and it’s good for you to consume them. Some foods honestly do raise your mood when you consume them. If you feel a little bit down and you’re in need of a happiness pick me up, try a few of these.

Eggs, believe it or not, are terrific for helping you combat depression. You must make sure, though, that what you make includes the egg yolk. The yolk is the part of the egg that matters most in terms of helping raise your mood. Eggs, the egg yolk in particular, are rich in B vitamins. These B vitamins are terrific for helping to boost your mood. This is because they help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that control your mood–function better. Try eating an egg and be happy!

Build a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and so on are all terrific for helping to elevate your mood. This is possible since these foods are high in magnesium which promotes your production of serotonin. Serotonin is a feel-good chemical substance that directs the brain how to feel at any given moment. The more of it you have, the happier you are going to feel. Nuts, along with raising your mood, can be a super protein source.

If you want to beat depression, try consuming some cold water fish. Cold water fish such as tuna, trout and wild salmon are chock full of DHA and omega-3 fats. These are two things that actually help the grey matter in your brain function a lot better. It’s true: consuming a tuna fish sandwich can seriously elevate your mood.

It’s not difficult to fight your bad mood when you eat grains. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all really great for helping increase your happiness levels. They help you feel full also which can actually help to better your mood. Feeling starved can really make you feel awful! The reason these grains are so good for your mood is that they are not hard for your stomach to digest. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps jumpstart a rise in your glucose levels which in turn kicks up your mood to a happier place.

Your mood can actually be helped by green tea. You knew it had to be mentioned in this article, right? Green tea is found to be packed full of an amino acid called L-theanine. Studies have found that this amino acid essentially induces brain waves. This helps focus your mental energy while at the same time calming your body. You already knew that green tea helps you be healthier. Now you know that applies to your mood too!

So you see, you don’t need to eat junk food or foods that are bad for you just so to feel better! Go with these tips instead!
