Golden crescent dough wrapped hot dogs make a quick, flaky, and delicious crowd-pleaser.

# List of Ingredients:

→ Main

01 - 8 crescent roll dough triangles (Pillsbury or similar)
02 - 3 extra-large hot dogs (cut into thirds, approximately 2 to 3 inches each piece)

→ Egg Wash

03 - 1 large egg, beaten

→ Seasonings (optional)

04 - Sea salt flakes
05 - Everything bagel seasoning
06 - Sesame seeds
07 - Garlic powder
08 - Parmesan cheese
09 - Melted garlic butter (for brushing)

→ Suggested Dipping Sauces

10 - Ketchup
11 - Mustard
12 - Honey mustard
13 - Warm cheese sauce or queso

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Set the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
02 - Open the crescent roll dough can and separate along the perforated lines into 8 triangles.
03 - For bite-sized portions, slice each extra-large hot dog into 3 equal pieces about 2 to 3 inches long.
04 - Optional: Pat the hot dog pieces dry with a paper towel for better dough adherence. Place each hot dog segment at the wide end of a crescent triangle. Roll tightly towards the narrow tip, tucking in any loose edges.
05 - Gently brush the rolled hot dogs with beaten egg to ensure a golden crust. Sprinkle with your choice of seasonings such as sea salt flakes, sesame seeds, or everything bagel seasoning.
06 - Arrange the wrapped hot dogs on a parchment-lined or lightly greased baking sheet. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the dough is golden brown and the hot dogs are heated through. For extra-large hot dogs, bake 15 to 19 minutes.
07 - Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving with your preferred dipping sauces.

# Additional Suggestions:

01 - Assemble ahead and refrigerate up to 24 hours without baking; brush with egg wash just before baking for best results.
02 - For pretzel dough variation, briefly boil dough-wrapped hot dogs in baking soda solution before baking to achieve characteristic pretzel texture.
03 - These can be frozen after cooling and reheated in an oven or toaster oven to restore crispness.
