Pro Tips For Making This Recipe

  1. Keep the crescent roll dough in the fridge until you're ready to use it. Cold dough is easier to work with and helps it puff up nicely when baked.
  2. Try to wrap the dough around the mini hot dogs evenly to ensure they cook at the same rate and all come out golden and delicious.
  3. If you want to add extra flavor, sprinkle the dough with a pinch of poppy or sesame seeds before baking. A flaky, coarse salt would also be a great addition!
