- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- In a small bowl, combine the yeast and sugar.Add a little bit of warm water to dissolve it.
- Mix the dry ingredients together. Add half of your beaten egg, the yeast mixture, the oil and the broth, and combine well.
- Add flour to a flat surface and knead the mixture until it forms a nice dough. Place the dough in a bowl coated with oil, cover it and let it rise until it’s about twice the original size.
- Take a bit in your hand, roll it out on your floured surface, then shape it into a pretzel.
- Place your pretzels on a greased cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes.
While they’re still warm, brush them with the rest of your beaten egg, then sprinkle with the wheat germ if desired. You can skip this step if you want. You can also sprinkle them with a little garlic powder or dried parsley.

Regarding the NuSalt, you can use regular salt if you want to, but too much salt in their diet can be really bad for them. Like all mammals, they do need a bit of salt here and there (unless your dog has a medical condition and your vet says otherwise). You can also use 2/3 cup water in place of the broth, I just thought the broth would liven things up a bit for your pooch.
I hope your pup enjoys this homemade pretzel dog treat! If you have any favorite treat recipes, tell us about them in the comments!
