Steps:

1. Mix together the warm water, sugar and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes or until yeast has started to bubble.
2. Add the flour, salt and butter to the yeast mixture. Place the bowl on a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Mix the dough on medium speed for about 5 minutes, until the dough forms a ball that pulls away from the sides of the bowl. If the dough seems a little dry, add a bit more water, 1/4 teaspoon at a time.
3. Remove the ball of dough from the bowl; spread the bowl with cooking spray and return the dough to the bowl. Cover with plastic wrap.
4. Place the bowl in a warm area until the dough has doubled in size. About 1 hour.
5. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
6. In a large pot, combine 12 cups of water and baking soda and bring to a boil.
7. Place the dough on a floured surface and divide into equal pieces. Roll each piece into a flat rope. Wrap the dough around each hot dog, pinching the dough together to seal.
8. Using a flat strainer, dip each hot dog into the baking soda boil for 30 seconds. Place onto the sheet pan.
9. Brush the bagel with the beaten egg. Add toppings if desired. Bake until deep golden brown, about 15 minutes
