Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 pieces hot dogs your favorite brand
  • 1 package puff pastry thawed if frozen
  • 1 egg egg for egg wash
  • 1 tablespoon water to mix with egg
  • optional sesame seeds or poppy seeds for sprinkling

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Pastry brush
  • Sharp Knife

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut it into strips about 1 inch wide.
  3. Wrap each hot dog with a strip of puff pastry, starting at one end and spiraling around to the other, sealing the edges with a little beaten egg if needed.
  4. Place each wrapped hot dog seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash, then brush it generously over the tops of the pastry wraps for a shiny, golden finish.
  6. If desired, sprinkle sesame or poppy seeds over the top for added crunch and visual appeal.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown, and the hot dogs are heated through.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. These are best enjoyed warm, with ketchup or mustard if desired.

Notes

Ensure the pastry edges are sealed well to prevent filling from leaking out during baking. Keep an eye on the pastry towards the end of baking to prevent over-browning. For extra flavor, add cheese or spices inside the wrapping before baking.
