Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 package of mini hot dogs (approximately 28 hot dogs)
- 1 package of crescent roll dough (8 ounces)
Glaze
- 1/3 cup of honey
- 1/3 cup of brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
Other
- Cooking spray or additional oil for greasing
- Optional garnish: chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Dough: Open the package of crescent roll dough and unroll it onto a clean surface. Instead of separating into triangles, pinch the seams together to create one solid sheet of dough.
- Cut Dough Strips: Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, slice the dough sheet into strips about 1 inch wide, suitable for wrapping around mini hot dogs.
- Wrap Hot Dogs: Take each mini hot dog and wrap it with one dough strip, starting at one end and rolling it tightly to the other end to ensure the dough sticks and encloses the hot dog fully. Repeat for all hot dogs.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the wrapped hot dogs onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about one inch apart to allow for even baking.
- Make Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper until smooth and fully combined.
- Apply Glaze: Brush the glaze generously over each wrapped hot dog, ensuring each piece is coated thoroughly for a flavorful finish.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough turns golden brown and is cooked through.
- Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the glazed pigs in a blanket to cool for a few minutes; this helps the glaze set and makes them easier to handle.
- Garnish and Serve: If desired, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the baked treats before serving to add a fresh aroma and vibrant color.
Notes
- Ensure dough strips are not too wide to wrap neatly around mini hot dogs without excess dough.
- The glaze can be adjusted in sweetness or tanginess by modifying the amount of honey or mustard according to taste preferences.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute crescent roll dough with gluten-free dough.
- These can be made ahead, glazed, and refrigerated before baking; just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking chilled dough.
- Serve warm for the best texture and flavor experience.
