Ingredients

8 hot dogs
2 cheddar cheese sticks cut into 4ths by length
11 ounce can pizza dough
2 eggs
2 Tablespoons water
2 Tablespoons flaky salt

Nacho Cheese Sauce:

2 Tablespoons salted butter
1 Tablespoon all-purpose flour
½ cup whole milk
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 Tablespoons cream cheese
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoon sriracha

Instructions

Cut a slit into the middle of the hot dogs. Add slice of cheese.
Cut pizza roll dough into 8 equal sections. Wrap dough around the hot dog, overlapping slightly with each wrap.
In a small bowl, whisk eggs and water. Brush hot dogs with egg wash and sprinkle with salt
Preheat air fryer to 390* for 5 minutes. Cook pretzel dogs in a single layer with plenty of room in between each one for 7 minutes, flipping halfway through.
While pretzel dogs are cooking, make cheese sauce. Create a rouge by melting butter in a saucepan and stirring in flour. Slowly incorporate milk and bring to a boil. Lower heat to a simmer. Add cheese, cream cheese, black pepper, and sriracha. Stir until cheese is melted.
Serve immediately with cheese dip and enjoy!
