Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray it lightly with cooking spray.
In a large pot, bring water and baking soda to a boil.
Divide dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each piece into a rope that is about 20 inched long. Wrap a rope of dough around each hot dog.
Place the hot dogs two at a time into the boiling water for 30 seconds. remove with a large slotted spoon and place on prepared sheet.
Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with salt. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes.
Notes
You can use all-purpose dough instead of bread dough but it will be a little less chewy.
