How to Make Homemade Corn Dogs

  1. In a food processor or spice grinder, finely grind 2 cloves of garlic with 1 cup of fine cornmeal until a powder forms. Process in small batches for best results.
  2. Liberally sprinkle the garlic-cornmeal mixture onto a clean, lightly floured countertop.
  3. Grease two large baking sheets.
  4. Divide 1 pound of prepared pizza dough into 4 equal portions.
  5. On the prepared countertop, roll each dough portion into a thin strip, slightly wider than the length of a bratwurst.
  6. Wrap one bratwurst at a time in a strip of dough, pinching the edges to seal completely. Cut and adjust dough as needed to ensure a snug fit.
  7. Roll each wrapped bratwurst in the garlic-cornmeal mixture, pressing gently to ensure even coating. Add more mixture if needed.
  8. Arrange the corn dogs on the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each.
  9. Cover the baking sheets loosely with warm, damp kitchen towels.
  10. Let the corn dogs rise in a warm place (around 80-85°F) for about 60-90 minutes, or until doubled in size.
  11. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  12. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  13. Brush the cooked corn dogs with melted butter for extra richness and flavor.
  14. Serve immediately and enjoy!
