Why Make This Everything Bagel Pigs in a Blanket

How to Make Everything Bagel Pigs in a Blanket
Step 1: Preparation
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures a perfect baking environment, helping the dough rise beautifully and develop a golden-brown crust.
Step 2: Mixing
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. This is where the magic begins! The dough is soft and pliable, making it easy to work with as you wrap the hot dogs.
Step 3: Wrapping
Cut each hot dog in half and place a piece on the wide end of each crescent triangle. Carefully roll the dough around the hot dog, starting from the wide end and working your way to the tip. This encases the hot dogs perfectly, ready for baking.
Step 4: Finishing
Place the wrapped hot dogs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush it over the top of each wrapped hot dog to give them a lovely golden color. Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning generously over each one for that iconic flavor. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until they’re golden brown. Once out of the oven, serve them warm for the best experience.
