INGREDIENTS FOR THE HOT DOG

2 pieces Käsekrainer Hot Dog Sausages
2 pieces Hot Dog Buns
4 slices Bacon Strips
4 slices Cheddar Cheese Slices
2 tbsp Mayonnaise PL
4 pieces Pickled Jalapeño Rings PL
1 bunch Fresh Spring Onions PL

INGREDIENTS FOR THE CRISPY SAUERKRAUT

100 g Mild White Sauerkraut PL
50 g Wheat Flour Type 405 PL
90 ml Still Water 1.5l PL
1 tsp Smoked Paprika Powder PL
1 pinch Fine Table Salt PL
1 pinch Black Pepper Ground PL
200 ml Sunflower Oil 1l PL

PREPARING THE CRISPY SAUERKRAUT

1
Mix all ingredients for the batter (flour, water, paprika powder, salt, pepper) in a bowl until smooth and lump-free.
2
Squeeze the sauerkraut well to remove excess liquid. Then add to the batter and mix thoroughly.
3
Heat the oil in a small pot or pan to approx. 170-180 °C. Add the sauerkraut in portions and fry until golden brown and crispy. Make sure the sauerkraut strips do not stick together. Drain on kitchen paper.

PREPARING THE HOT DOG

1
Lightly score the sausages lengthwise, but do not cut all the way through. They should remain in one piece.
2
In a hot pan, fry the bacon and sausages (cut side down) for a few minutes until the bacon is crispy and the sausages are lightly browned. Remove from the pan.
3
Cut the hot dog buns lengthwise on top (or slightly flatten the top) and press down the inside a little to create space for the sausage.
4
Line the buns with the cheddar slices and bake in the preheated oven at 200 °C for approx. 1 minute until the cheese is melted.
5
Remove the buns from the oven. First, place some of the crispy sauerkraut, then the bacon, and finally the sausage inside. Sprinkle with the remaining sauerkraut, drizzle with mayonnaise, and garnish with jalapeño rings and finely chopped spring onions.

Knuspr-Küche

Tipp: Für ein noch intensiveres Aroma kannst du die Hotdog-Brötchen vor dem Belegen kurz in der Pfanne mit etwas Butter anrösten. Das knusprige Sauerkraut schmeckt übrigens auch hervorragend als Topping für Burger oder Salate!
