Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces (1 standard 8-count can) Refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 8 pieces Hot dogs
- 0.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter (optional, melted)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangular pieces along the perforated lines.
Place one hot dog on the wide end of a crescent roll triangle. If desired, sprinkle a small amount of shredded cheddar cheese on the dough before rolling.
Starting from the wide end, roll the dough around the hot dog toward the pointed end to fully enclose the hot dog. Pinch any open edges lightly to seal.
Repeat the process with the remaining hot dogs and dough pieces.
Arrange the wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them to allow the dough to expand while baking.
Optional: Brush the tops of the crescent dogs with melted butter for extra flavor and a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the crescent roll dough is golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and allow the crescent dogs to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ketchup, mustard, or ranch.
