Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees or 325 degrees convection.
- Line a large baking sheet with foil. Grease pan with spray or oil. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, starch, baking powder and salt. Whisk to remove any lumps.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, then add the vinegar, honey and water. Gently knead the together all the ingredients to form a stiff dough.
- On a large (preferably plastic) cutting board, roll the dough into a cylinder approximately 8 inches long. Cut the dough into two pieces, then cut the two pieces into four pieces each, making 8 even pieces.. Cut each of the 8 pieces into 4 small pieces, totaling 32 pieces all together.
- Take one of the 32 pieces of dough and roll it into a small ball. Flatten into a circle on the cutting board.
- Place one of the hot dog pieces on the center of the dough. Fold the dough around the hot dog piece. Roll the coated dog between your palms to even the dough around the dog. Flatten the ends of the dough. Set aside.
- Repeat with the remaining dough and hot dog pieces.
FOR BOILING
- Combine the water and baking soda together in a medium saucepan. Stir to dissolve the baking soda. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to simmer.
- Drop several dogs into the water. Simmer just until the dogs start to float. Immediately, carefully remove each dog and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Repeat with the remaining dogs.
FOR FINISHING
- Brush each bagel dog with beaten egg. Sprinkle with the dried minced onion (optional).
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Be careful not to over bake or the bagel dogs will be dry.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.
