I'm trying to do a prep for pretzel wieners for a party using a boil then bake method with fresh dough. If I am going to refrigerate them, should I do it before or after boiling them?

Make some jalapeno pretzel dogs. Those are dank.

Actually that was my intention.

Then you make awesome party dishes. Rock on.

Still need to know the proper way to prep these so I'm doing the most minimal work come serving time
>>9144265
If they're pre-cooked it shouldn't matter, if not par boil them for about 90 seconds, then roll and refrigerate before baking off.

Since the weiners are most likely precooked, just dry them well and wrap the fresh dough around them. Less chance of drying out. Even not precooked, the time for baking the dough would finish cooking the meat.

So no need to boil at all? I haven't done much pretzel making so I wasn't sure if it was part of the process

Yeah, I didn't think of that. If the pretzel dough recipe calls for boiling the dough first, I would still wrap the sausage before boiling. I'm sure you get a rise from the boiling and it could deflate when you tried to wrap it.

The recipes I saw called for wrapping then boiling so I wasn't sure if it was just a method of starting the meat or part of what gave the dough it's final texture.

Pretzels and bagels are boiled to create the chewy crust.
Just wrap how you want it, around the sausage then secure it with a tooth pick or something and toss in the boiling baking soda mixture and pull them out, let them drain some while oven heats up. They will be a little slimy at this point if you've never made pretzels. Put them on the paper/tray and bake after that.
