→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
02 - 24 mini beef or turkey hot dogs

04 - Wrap each hot dog with one dough strip starting at one end, leaving the ends exposed to resemble baseball bats.

06 - Brush tops lightly with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds if desired.
07 - Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until dough is puffed and golden brown.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They come together in thirty minutes flat, making them your secret weapon for unexpected guests or last-minute gatherings.
  • Kids and adults alike go wild for them because they're fun to eat and genuinely delicious—no one suspects how simple they are to make.
02 -
  • Wet or room-temperature hot dogs will create steam and cause the dough to separate, so that pat-dry step isn't optional—it's your insurance policy.
  • The moment you pull them from the oven they're still pliable, but they firm up as they cool, so if you want them to hold together perfectly, let them cool at least a minute.
03 -
  • Keep your crescent dough cold right up until wrapping—warm dough gets sticky and tears easily, which I learned the frustrating way.
  • If you accidentally tear the dough while wrapping, just pinch it back together or patch it with a tiny scrap; nobody will notice once they're baked and golden.
