## Ingredients

- 2 cups bread flour
- 1.125 tsp instant dry yeast
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 5 long beef hotdogs
- shredded cheddar cheese

## Instructions

1. Place flours, yeast, salt, honey, and olive oil in a large bowl. Pour in warm water and mix with a wooden spoon.
2. Once the flour is wet, let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes.
3. Mix again until the dough comes together and the flour disappears.
4. Wet your hands and begin kneading the dough by pulling one chunk of dough up above the bowl, stretching it, then wrapping it around the rest of the dough. Repeat this about 8-10 times.
5. Cover the dough with a towel and repeat the kneading process after 15 minutes.
6. Cover the focaccia and let it sit for about 90 minutes until it roughly doubles in size.
7. Using 1 tablespoon of olive oil, grease a 13x9 shallow baking pan.
8. Place the focaccia dough into the pan and spread gently with your fingers.
9. Cover the dough with another pan of equal or greater size (the dough needs room to rise) and let it rise in a warm place for another 90 minutes.
10. To make spiral hotdogs, place a hotdog on a skewer. On a cutting board, spin the skewer, using a sharp knife to pierce the hotdog as you spin, working in a vertical fashion from top to bottom.
11. Remove the hotdog from the skewer and set it aside.
12. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
13. Pour about 1 tablespoon of olive oil on the focaccia.
14. Using your hands, press down into the dough, creating dimples.
15. Evenly space the 5 hotdogs on the focaccia.
16. Sprinkle the focaccia with cheese, if desired.
17. Bake for about 20-25 minutes at 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
18. Cool, slice, and serve with hotdog fixings.
