Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 8 hot dogs
- Mustard or ketchup (for the eyes)
- Optional: Everything bagel seasoning
- Optional: Grated Parmesan cheese
- Optional: Garlic powder or onion powder
- Optional: Melted butter with garlic and herbs
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean cutting board. If using perforated rolls, press the seams together firmly to create one solid sheet. Let the dough sit for 2-3 minutes at room temperature.
- Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the dough lengthwise into 8 even strips, each about ½ inch to ¾ inch wide.
- Take one strip of dough and wrap it around a hot dog, starting at one end and working your way to the other. Leave a small gap near the top for the ‘face’—about ½ inch of the hot dog should be exposed. Repeat with remaining hot dogs and dough strips.
- Arrange the wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each one.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the crescent dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes. While still warm, use a toothpick to dab two small dots of mustard or ketchup onto the exposed hot dog area to create the eyes.
- Serve immediately. These are best enjoyed warm.
Notes
Let crescent dough sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before unrolling to prevent cracking. Pat hot dogs dry before wrapping to avoid soggy bottoms. For best results, use full-fat crescent dough and hot dogs. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or air fryer.
