Ingredients

• 1 can (8 oz/226 g) refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 24 mini beef or turkey hot dogs (cocktail sausages)
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash, optional)
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional)
• Ketchup and yellow mustard, for serving

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles. Cut each triangle into 3 smaller, long strips (for a total of 24 strips).

3. Pat the mini hot dogs dry with paper towels.

4. Starting at one end, wrap each hot dog with a strip of dough, leaving the ends exposed to resemble tiny baseball bats.

5. Place the wrapped hot dogs seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.

6. Brush the tops lightly with beaten egg for a golden finish. Sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds, if desired.

7. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the dough is puffed and golden brown.

8. Cool slightly before serving with ketchup and mustard for dipping.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

To ensure your mini baseball hot dogs come out perfectly golden, use an egg wash before baking. This not only gives a beautiful color but also helps seeds stick to the dough if you choose to add them. Make sure to pat the hot dogs dry so the dough adheres better and bakes evenly.

Varianten und Anpassungen

For a cheesy twist, slip a small slice of cheddar inside each dough strip before wrapping the hot dogs. If you prefer a vegetarian option, veggie hot dogs work beautifully without compromising on flavor. Feel free to experiment with different seed toppings or skip them altogether.

Serviervorschläge

Serve these bite-sized snacks warm with classic dipping sauces like ketchup and yellow mustard. For extra flavor and crunch, pair them with pickles or a fresh coleslaw side. They’re also fantastic as part of a party platter or packed in lunchboxes for a fun meal on the go.
