Ingredients
Scale
- 8 standard-sized hot dogs
- 1 can (8-count) crescent roll dough
- Mustard or ketchup (for the eyes)
- 1–2 tablespoons melted butter (optional)
- Everything bagel seasoning or sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean cutting board. If using perforated dough, press the seams together gently to create one solid sheet.
- Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough lengthwise into thin strips about ½ inch wide (about 8-10 strips per sheet).
- Take one hot dog and start wrapping a strip of dough around it, starting at one end and working up. Leave a small gap at the top (about ½ inch) for the face. Overlap the dough slightly as you wrap. Press the end to seal. Repeat with all 8 hot dogs.
- Place the wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about an inch of space between each.
- If using, melt butter and brush a thin layer over each wrapped hot dog.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until the dough is golden brown and the hot dogs are heated through. Check at 10 minutes and adjust as needed.
- Let cool for about 2 minutes on the baking sheet. Using a toothpick or knife tip, dab two small dots of mustard or ketchup on the exposed hot dog at the top to create eyes.
- Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
Keep dough strips thin (about ½ inch) to avoid doughy centers. Don’t overbake; check at 10 minutes. For best results, brush with melted butter for golden color. Can prep ahead by wrapping and refrigerating for a few hours before baking. For cheesy version, slit hot dogs and stuff with cheese before wrapping.
