Description

This is a family favorite with our Polish heritage. You can get these store-bought, but they’re much better homemade. You can also use the dough recipe for normal bagels. I substitute one cup of the bread flour for one of wheat for a little healthier bagel.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups Bread Flour
  • 1 Tablespoon Sugar
  • 1-½ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Tablespoon Vegetable Or Olive Oil
  • 2 teaspoons Instant Yeast
  • 1-½ cup Warm Water
  • 10 whole Polish Sausages Or Hot Dogs
  • Poppyseed Or Sesame Seed For Sprinkling

Preparation

Mix all ingredients but the sausages, and only 1 1/4 cups of the water into a large bowl. You can add the additional water if it looks like not all the flour will mix or the dough is extra stiff. (I end up using about 1 1/3 cups, but altitude, indoor temp, etc may change it). Dough will be sticky.

Tip dough onto clean counter and knead about 10 minutes or until dough is smooth.

Cut dough into even pieces and let rest 10-20 minutes. (10 for bagel dogs since smaller dough is better, but 8-10 regular bagels can be made with the dough.)

Using a rolling pin, roll out each piece of dough into a long rectangular piece twice as long as the hotdog/sausage. Wrap diagonally across the hotdog, making sure there is overlap, then tuck the ends in when done.

Let rest 5 minutes.

While resting, boil a large pot of water on stove and preheat oven to 425. Once boiling is reached, place bagel dogs in water for one minute each, then let them sit on a tea towel/paper towel to dry for 30 seconds. For authenticity, sprinkle top with poppyseeds. You can also use dried onion, sesame seeds, kosher salt, or anything else.

Bake for 10-15 minutes until bagels are golden, take out and let cool. If you didn’t wrap them tight enough with good overlap, they can unwind a bit, as shown for the middle one the picture above (I was impatient). You can also make the dough smaller if you want to wrap smokies or other sausages.

Made these last night. I used my KitchenAid with the dough hook to mix the dough so it was super easy that way. Also used cheese smoked sausage. The kids thought they were great and gobbled them up. Great recipe!

These were great! My kids loved them. I bought some low-fat sausage from the market and boiled them while I prepared the dough. They were more work than simply sticking the sausage in a hamburger bun, but they were yummy and crispy and perfect for little fingers to hold!

These are easy and tasty. I made them for the kids, but I think hubs and I liked the bagel dogs more than they did!

Wow! These turned out fantastic! I took countrygirlcooks’ advice and used my KitchenAid mixer with the hook attachment. Super quick and easy! Used a bit extra flour for rolling the dough out and gave them a final hand roll to smooth out the bumps at the end. They browned up perfectly and tasted delicious! Already made 4 batches!

i tried these as regular bagels (no hot dogs). was my first time making bagels & they turned out YUMMY. they were kind of like a cross between the texture of bagels and soft pretzels. perfect for breakfast or for making sandwiches! will definitely make these again.
