    Prepare the Dough:
    • In a large mixing bowl, add warm water, yeast, and sugar. Stir well and let it activate for 5 minutes.
    • Add flour, salt, and softened butter.
    • Mix until a dough forms, then transfer to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, until smooth and non-sticky.
    • Grease the bowl with a little oil, place the dough back in, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise for 1 hour in a warm place.

    Prepare the Sausages:
    • While the dough rises, prepare your sausages (cremvuști). Pat them dry if needed and set aside.

    Assemble the Pretzel Dogs:
    • Once the dough has doubled in size, lightly flour your work surface and roll out the dough into a square.
    • Cut into strips (wide enough to wrap around the sausages).
    • Take each strip and wrap it spirally around a sausage.

    Final Rise:
