Crispy Cheese Dogs (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Batter

01 - 1 tablespoon White Sugar
02 - 1 ¾ cups Flour
03 - ½ teaspoon Kosher Salt
04 - 1 cup Warm Water
05 - 2 teaspoons Active Dry Yeast
06 - ½ to 1 cup Panko

→ Fillings

07 - 3 Hot Dogs (sliced in half)
08 - 8 oz of Cheese Block (cut to match hot dog width)

→ Toppings

09 - 1 bag of chips
10 - Ketchup
11 - ⅓ cup Nacho Cheese or Mayo
12 - Mustard
13 - Sugar

# Instructions:

01 - Combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Wait until foamy (about 5-10 mins). Add salt and flour, then cover to let it rest for an hour.
02 - Halve the hot dogs and cut cheese to fit. Skewer them onto sticks or chopsticks, then chill until the dough is ready.
03 - Get the oil heated to 350°F. Place Panko on a plate. Dip skewered fillings into the batter until fully covered before rolling them in Panko. Press gently to stick.
04 - Cook the corn dogs in oil, frying for about 90 seconds per side until golden. Move them to a rack to cool slightly.
05 - If you like, brush with mayo or nacho cheese, then roll in crushed chips. Dust with sugar. Don’t forget the ketchup and mustard for dipping!

# Notes:

01 - Room-temperature cheese is easier to skewer.
02 - Fry the corn dogs right after coating for the best results.
03 - Crush your chips while waiting for the dough to finish rising.
