Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 8-ounce can crescent rolls
- 14 ounces cocktail sausages
- 1 Tablespoon minced garlic
- ¼ cup salted butter, melted
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 Tablespoons Everything Bagel Seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s ready for baking the wreath.
- Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, and salt. Microwave in 15-second intervals until the butter is fully melted and then stir to combine evenly.
- Unroll Dough: Carefully unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface to prepare for cutting.
- Brush Dough: Using a pastry brush, evenly coat the crescent dough with the garlic butter mixture to add flavor and help with browning.
- Cut Dough Strips: Use a pizza cutter to slice each crescent triangle into three long strips, making it easier to wrap around the sausages.
- Wrap Sausages: Take each cocktail sausage and wrap the dough strips around them snugly. Place each wrapped sausage on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, arranging them in a circle using a small bowl as a guide for the wreath shape.
- Create Outer Circle: Continue wrapping all the sausages and placing them side by side in a circular pattern to form the wreath’s outer ring.
- Create Inner Circle: Form a second, smaller circle inside the first, ensuring that each sausage touches its neighbors for a cohesive wreath shape.
- Apply Final Butter and Seasoning: Brush the assembled wreath generously with the remaining garlic butter mixture and sprinkle the Everything Bagel Seasoning evenly over the top.
- Bake: Bake the wreath in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes until it turns golden brown and cooked through.
- Garnish: Optionally, tuck fresh rosemary sprigs around the wreath for an aromatic, festive touch.
- Serve: Place a bowl of ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce in the center of the wreath and serve warm for dipping.
Notes
- Using a small bowl as a template helps keep the wreath shape uniform while arranging wrapped sausages.
- Ensure the garlic butter is fully melted to brush easily over the dough for even seasoning.
- Fresh rosemary adds a nice aroma but can be omitted if unavailable or unwanted.
- Dipping sauces like mustard, barbecue sauce, or cheese dip work well besides ketchup.
- For a crispier crust, you can brush the dough with an egg wash before baking.
