Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut each triangle into three smaller triangles.
3. Wrap the Sausages: Place a mini sausage at the wide end of each small triangle. Roll the dough around the sausage, starting from the wide end and moving toward the point.
4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the wrapped sausages seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
5. Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the top of each wrapped sausage with the egg wash.
6. Optional Garnish: If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds or poppy seeds on top of the egg-washed dough for added texture and flavor.
7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown.
8. Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. These mini hotdogs are best enjoyed warm and can be served with mustard, ketchup, or your favorite dipping sauces.
Cooking and Serving Tips:
• Dough Variations: For a different flavor, try using puff pastry or biscuit dough instead of crescent roll dough.
• Cheese Addition: Place a small slice of cheese on the dough before adding the sausage for a cheesy variation.
• Storage: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes to regain crispness.
