Ingredients:
- 1 roll puff pastry
- 6 hot dogs
- 1 egg beaten
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions for Hot Dogs in Pastry Recipe:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the hot dogs: Cut the 6 hot dogs into thirds, making a total of 18 smaller pieces.
- Prepare the puff pastry: Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut it into 18 equal strips, each wide enough to wrap around a 1/3 of hot dog.
- Wrap the hot dogs: Take one strip of puff pastry and wrap it around one-third of a hot dog, slightly overlapping the edges. Press the seam gently to seal. Repeat with the remaining hot dogs and pastry strips.
- Arrange on the baking sheet: Place the wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each.
- Make Egg Wash: Whisk an egg with a tablespoon of water until smooth.
- Brush with egg wash: Lightly brush the beaten egg over the pastry to help it turn golden and flaky.
- Add sesame seeds: Sprinkle the sesame seeds evenly over the egg wash.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. These are delicious on their own or paired with your favorite dipping sauces!
Tips:
- Customize the filling: Add a slice of cheese or spread a thin layer of mustard on the pastry before wrapping for extra flavor.
Storage:
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) to restore crispiness.
