When we moved to Alaska, I had a goal to learn how to bake. I imagined there would be many dark, cold winter days and baking would be the perfect way to entertain myself while adding new skills. That turned out to be an excellent plan! Way back then, I had a friend who was learning alongside me. We would trudge to each other’s homes through dark, icy blizzards (normal winter weather) and take on a baking challenge almost every weekend. Pretzel dogs were one of our first achievements. Today is not dark, but it is feeling rather wintery outside – a lovely day to connect to a wonderful memory and recreate these tasty treats. Just before these are served, I’ll brush on a little olive oil and sprinkle them with sea salt. Can’t wait to dip one of these into some good mustard!
