A quick and easy recipe for golden, crispy mini hot dogs wrapped in buttery crescent roll dough, perfect for parties and casual snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 mini hot dogs or cocktail sausages
  • 2 cans (8 oz / 226 g each) crescent roll dough, refrigerated
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika or smoked paprika (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional)
  • Honey or mustard for dipping or drizzling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Unroll both cans of crescent roll dough on a clean surface. Gently press the perforations together to seal and create one large sheet.
  3. Cut the dough into strips about 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide, one strip per mini hot dog.
  4. Wrap each mini hot dog tightly with a strip of dough, starting at one end and spiraling to the other. Seal the ends to prevent unraveling.
  5. Place the wrapped hot dogs seam side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each.
  6. In a small bowl, combine melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Stir well.
  7. Brush each wrapped hot dog generously with the seasoned butter mixture.
  8. Sprinkle sesame or poppy seeds over the dough if using.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the dough is golden brown and crispy, checking after 10 minutes to avoid burning.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool for 3-5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For extra crispiness, broil for 1-2 minutes watching closely. Seal dough edges tightly to prevent unraveling. Use room temperature dough for easier wrapping. Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet for even cooking. Try different dipping sauces like mustard, honey mustard, or spicy mayo. Vegetarian and gluten-free substitutions are possible.
