Main Ingredients
  • 8 pieces beef hot dogs

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

  3. Cut each triangle into smaller strips or halves, depending on the size of your sausages.
Assembly

  2. Place a sausage at the wider end of the dough and roll it up snugly, making sure the cheese is tucked inside.
  3. Brush the top of each roll with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds or bagel seasoning for extra flavor.
  4. Arrange the pigs in a blanket on the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down.
Baking
  1. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
  2. Let cool slightly and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces like honey mustard, ketchup, or ranch.

Notes

Tuck the cheese inside the dough well to avoid spillage during baking. Experiment with different types of cheese or sausages. For a larger batch, you can double the ingredients.
