Ingredients
Scale
- 8 standard-size hot dogs
- 1 can (8-count) crescent roll dough
- Yellow mustard (for eyes)
- Optional: cooking spray or melted butter for brushing
- Optional: everything bagel seasoning or sesame seeds
- Optional: cheese slices or cheese sticks
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Unroll the crescent dough and separate into 8 triangles along the perforated lines.
- Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice each triangle lengthwise into 3-4 thin strips (about ½-inch wide).
- Take one hot dog and wrap a dough strip around it, leaving a 1-inch gap near the top for the face. Overlap strips slightly and don’t wrap too tightly.
- Place wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each.
- Optional: Brush tops with melted butter or egg wash for a golden crust.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until dough is golden brown and puffed.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes. Use a toothpick or knife tip to dab small dots of mustard on the unwrapped section for eyes.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
For best results, let hot dogs sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before wrapping. Don’t overwork the dough. If strips break, press them back together. Add mustard eyes after cooling slightly to prevent melting.
