- Cook Time: 15-18 minutes
- Total Time: 25-28 minutes
- Yield: 8 servings 1x
- Category: Snack
- Cuisine: American
Ingredients
- 8 standard size hot dogs (or 12 mini hot dogs/cocktail sausages)
- 1 can (8 oz/226g) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 egg, beaten with 1 tsp water (for egg wash, optional)
- Edible candy eyes or mustard/ketchup/black olive pieces (for eyes)
- Flour, for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Remove hot dogs from packaging and pat dry with a paper towel.
- Unroll crescent dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pinch seams together to form a single sheet. Slice dough into thin strips about 1/4 inch wide using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
- Wrap each hot dog with dough strips, leaving a small gap near the top for the ‘face.’ Overlap strips for a bandaged look. Pinch on extra strips as needed.
- Place wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 1 inch apart.
- Brush dough lightly with egg wash for shine and color (optional).
- Bake for 15-18 minutes (12-15 minutes for mini hot dogs), until dough is puffed and golden brown.
- Let cool for 2-3 minutes. Add eyes using mustard, ketchup, or candy eyes.
- Serve warm on a platter with dipping sauces as desired.
Notes
For gluten-free or vegan versions, use appropriate hot dogs and dough. Pat hot dogs dry to prevent soggy dough. Roll dough thinner for extra crispiness. Let kids help with wrapping and adding eyes for a fun activity. Serve with ketchup, mustard, or barbecue sauce for dipping. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven for best texture.
