Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces hot dogs Juicy, salty sausages
  • 1 sheet puff pastry Thawed if frozen
  • 1 egg egg Beaten, for egg wash
  • optional to taste cheddar cheese Shredded, optional for extra gooeyness
  • optional to taste paprika or garlic powder For seasoning, optional

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Rolling pin
  • Sharp knife
  • Pastry brush

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unwrap the puff pastry sheet and place it on a lightly floured surface. Use a rolling pin to gently roll it out into a thin, even layer.
  3. Cut the rolled pastry into four strips, each wide enough to wrap around a hot dog with some overlap.
  4. Pat the hot dogs dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture, ensuring they stay crispy during baking.
  5. Wrap each hot dog tightly with a pastry strip, starting from one end and spiraling to the other, leaving small gaps for 'bandages.'
  6. Place the wrapped hot dogs onto the prepared baking sheet, seam side down to help seal the dough.
  7. Brush the tops of the wrapped hot dogs with the beaten egg to give a shiny, golden finish.

  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy, and the hot dogs are bubbling underneath.
  10. Remove from oven, let rest for 5 minutes to avoid hot splatters, then serve with your favorite dipping sauces.

Notes

Ensure the dough is rolled thin for maximum crispiness. Seal edges well to prevent filling leaks. Customize with cheese and seasonings for extra flavor.
