Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Hot dogs or beef franks
- 1 package (thawed) Puff pastry sheets
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Milk
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional)
- 0.25 cup Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Carefully make spiral cuts along each hot dog using a paring knife, keeping the cuts evenly spaced and avoiding cutting through to the center.
Unroll the puff pastry sheets onto a lightly floured surface and cut them into 8 long strips, approximately ½ inch wide.
Wrap each puff pastry strip around a hot dog, following the spiral cuts to create the 'barber pole' effect. Press the ends of the pastry lightly to seal.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to make an egg wash. Brush the egg wash evenly over the pastry-wrapped franks.
If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds over the pastry for added texture and flavor.
Place the franks on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
Bake the Barber Pole Franks in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and crispy.
While the franks are baking, prepare the dipping sauce by mixing ketchup and Dijon mustard in a small bowl.
Remove the franks from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with the prepared dipping sauce and enjoy!
