- sprinkle the yeast and sugar over 2 cups of warm water in a small bowl. the water should be no more than 100 degrees f (40 degrees c). let stand for 20 minutes until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam.
- combine the yeast mixture with the warm milk, oil, and salt in a large mixing bowl; stir well to combine. stir in half of the flour mixture until no dry spots remain. stir in the remaining flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. the dough should be moderately stiff and slightly sticky. when the dough has pulled together, turn it out a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
- spray a large bowl with cooking spray, then place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat. cover with plastic wrap or a light cloth and let rise in a warm place (80 to 95 degrees f (27 to 35 degrees c)) until doubled in volume, about 45 minutes.
- after the dough has risen, fill a large pot with about 8 cups water, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and the baking soda and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. while the water is coming to a boil cut the the dough into 20 pieces, about the size of a golf ball. roll each piece into a 12 inch long rope about 1 1/2 inches thick.
- preheat an oven to 375 degrees f (190 degrees c). lightly grease 2 baking sheets.
- dip a strip of dough into the boiling water using a pair of tongs, count to 5, remove it from the water, and place it on a paper towel for a few seconds. wrap the strip around a hot dog, place on a baking sheet, and sprinkle with coarse salt. repeat with the remaining strips of dough and hot dogs.
- bake in a preheated oven until they are golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes.
