Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent dough sheets or crescent rolls
- 8 hot dogs
- Mustard or ketchup for the eyes
- Optional: Everything bagel seasoning or sesame seeds
- Optional: Ketchup or ranch for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Unroll the crescent dough. If using a seamless sheet, lay it flat on a clean cutting board. If using perforated triangles, gently press the seams together to form a smooth rectangle.
- Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the dough lengthwise into 8-10 thin strips, about ½-inch (1.25 cm) wide.
- Take one strip of dough and wrap it around a hot dog, starting at one end and working to the other. Leave a small gap near the top for the face. Do not wrap too tightly.
- Place the wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and puffed. Start checking at the 10-minute mark.
- Let them cool for 2-3 minutes on the baking sheet.
- Dip a toothpick into mustard (or ketchup) and dot two small eyes onto the exposed hot dog near the top.
- Serve immediately, with optional dipping sauces.
Notes
For best results, use hot dogs of uniform size. If dough strips break, press ends together—they will fuse during baking. For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free crescent dough. For a dairy-free version, check crescent dough label. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes to restore crispiness.
