Ingredients

For the Wreath

• 2 cans of crescent roll dough
• 24 mini hot dogs or cocktail sausages
• 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
• 1 egg (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds (for decoration)
• Fresh parsley or rosemary for garnish

For the Dipping Sauce

• 1 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce or honey mustard

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the Crescent Rolls:

   • Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. If using shredded cheese, sprinkle a little on each triangle for added flavor.

3. Wrap Each Weenie:

   • Place a mini hot dog at the wide end of each triangle, then roll it up towards the point. Ensure it's wrapped snugly, but not too tight.

4. Form the Wreath:

   • On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, arrange the wrapped sausages in a circular wreath shape, leaving a small gap between each piece for even baking. Use the second can to fill in any gaps as needed.

5. Brush with Egg Wash:

   • Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush it over the tops of the wrapped sausages. This will give them a lovely golden color when baked. Sprinkle with sesame seeds for added texture.

6. Bake:

   • Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and fully cooked.

7. Garnish and Serve:

   • Remove the wreath from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley or rosemary to add a festive touch. Serve warm with the dipping sauce of your choice.

🎉 You can make your wreath ahead of time! Simply assemble the wrapped sausages on the baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until you're ready to bake. Just add a few extra minutes to your baking time if coming straight from the fridge.

Variations

• Cheesy Delight: Add different kinds of cheese into the center of each wrapped sausage. Cream cheese or pepper jack can add a nice kick! 🧀
• Herbed Dough: Sprinkle dried herbs like garlic powder, Italian seasoning, or everything bagel seasoning on top before baking for additional flavor.
• Sweet and Spicy: Mix a little hot sauce with your barbecue sauce for a spicy twist on the dipping sauce.
• Veggie Option: Use veggie sausages for a meat-free version, or substitute with small pieces of roasted vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini.
