Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1 package cocktail sausages or mini smoked sausages You can also use regular hot dogs cut into thirds.
For the Glaze
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 pinch garlic powder
  • 1 pinch paprika
  • to taste optional garnish: poppy seeds or sesame seeds

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment for easier cleanup.
  2. Unroll the crescent dough. Use a knife or pizza cutter to slice each triangle into 2 or 3 skinny strips, long enough to wrap around a sausage once or twice.
  3. Wrap each sausage with a dough strip and place seam-side down on the baking sheet, giving them some space to puff.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, honey or maple syrup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and paprika to create the glaze. It should be thick but brushable.
  5. Brush each wrapped sausage lightly with the glaze and place in the oven.
Baking
  1. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes until the dough is mostly cooked and lightly golden.
  2. Pull the tray from the oven, brush with another layer of glaze, sprinkle with optional poppy or sesame seeds, and bake for an additional 3 to 5 minutes until glossy and caramelized.
  3. Let them rest for 2 to 3 minutes before serving.

Notes

Pat the sausages dry before wrapping to help the dough cling. Chill the wrapped pigs for 10 minutes before baking to improve puffing. Keep a close eye for caramelization as ovens vary.
