Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 12 pieces Hot dogs or cocktail sausages
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Thaw the puff pastry sheets according to the package instructions, typically 30-40 minutes at room temperature.
Lightly flour a clean work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheets to smooth any creases.
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut each puff pastry sheet into 6 equal rectangles, yielding 12 total.
Optional: Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on each rectangle for added flavor.
Place one hot dog or cocktail sausage diagonally across each rectangle of pastry.
Wrap the pastry around the hot dog, tucking in the ends if necessary, and place it seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.
Brush the tops of the pastry wraps with the egg wash to ensure a golden and shiny finish.
Optional: Sprinkle with sesame seeds or poppy seeds for a decorative and flavorful touch.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the franks in blankets to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ketchup, mustard, or ranch.
