Hot Dogs In a Blanket

here was once a place called Cowboy Town where everyone lived in peace until a couple of no-good-doers rode in. They went straight after the little hotdog pigs in the farm and wrapped them up tightly in plastic packaging.

Only one hero could save the hotdog pigs now - Little Joe, the mightiest cowboy in all the land. When Little Joe heard what happened to the little hotdog pigs he knew he had to free them.
There was no way they could sleep safely that night wrapped up in plastic, so Little Joe grabbed his toasty dough blankets and rode his little rocking horse into town.
“If it isn’t Little Joe!” one of the outlaws called out.
“Stick em up!” Little Joe said. “Free the little hotdog pigs or else!”
The outlaws were afraid of Little Joe and ran off, so Little Joe went to the fridge and freed the little hotdog pigs from their packaging and wrapped them up in the dough blankets so they could sleep
safe and sound.

Ingredients

10 uncured
mini hot dogs

5 Puff Pastry Squares

or roll out dough

½ cup
sesame seeds

1 organic
egg yolk

Olive oil or
parchment paper

Cooking Method

Let the dough defrost slightly without letting it become too soft and sticky.
Using a rolling pin, roll out small pieces of dough or use the puff pastry squares.

Press the cookie cutters into the dough to create various fun shapes. Roll any remaining dough and make more shapes.

Place hot dogs on one side of the shape and fold the sides of the shaped dough around the sausage like a blanket, securing the hot dog in place.

Separate the egg yolk from the egg and slightly whisk. Using a brush, brush a baking sheet with a little bit of olive oil or cover it with parchment paper so the dough doesn’t get stuck to the surface.

Brush the surface of the dough with egg yolk; then, sprinkle with sesame seeds.

That’s it! Now let an adult place the pan in the oven at 350° degrees until the dough gets a golden color.
