Ingredients
Scale
- 24 mini hot dogs or cocktail sausages
- 1 can (8 oz / 226 g) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 large egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash, optional)
- Pinch of garlic powder or smoked paprika (optional)
- Dipping sauces such as yellow mustard, ketchup, honey mustard, or ranch
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into 8 triangles along the perforations.
- Place one mini hot dog near the wide end of each triangle and roll it up toward the point, wrapping snugly but not too tight.
- Beat the egg with water and lightly brush the egg wash over the dough using a pastry brush or fingertip.
- Optionally sprinkle a pinch of garlic powder or smoked paprika over the tops.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until the dough is puffed and golden brown, checking around 10 minutes to avoid burning.
- Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Do not wrap the dough too tightly to avoid sogginess. Egg wash helps achieve a golden, glossy crust and helps seasonings stick. Check oven frequently to prevent burning. Leftovers reheat best in toaster oven or regular oven to maintain crispness. Can be prepared ahead and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking.
