Ingredients

Scale

Wreath Ingredients

  • 1 tube refrigerated crescent rolls
  • 24 mini hot dogs
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water)
  • 2 teaspoons poppy seeds
  • Salt, to taste

Garnish

  • Rosemary sprigs (for decoration)
  • Ketchup, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Dough: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Slice each crescent roll triangle lengthwise into thirds, creating thinner strips of dough.
  2. Roll Mini Hot Dogs: Brush each dough strip generously with Dijon mustard for a tangy kick. Place one mini hot dog at the thick end of each dough strip and roll it up snugly to encase the hot dog completely.
  3. Arrange in a Circle: Place the wrapped mini hot dogs side by side on the prepared baking sheet, forming a wreath shape by curving the ends around to connect in a circle. Make sure the rolls are touching so the wreath holds together while baking.
  4. Add Egg Wash and Seeds: Brush the entire wreath generously with egg wash to promote golden browning. Sprinkle the surface lightly with salt and poppy seeds for added flavor and texture.
  5. Bake the Wreath: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the crescent rolls turn a beautiful golden brown. This ensures the dough is fully cooked and the wreath is crisp on the outside.
  6. Cool and Garnish: Allow the wreath to cool for at least 20 minutes on the baking sheet. Arrange fresh rosemary sprigs around the inner circle of the wreath to add a festive and fragrant touch. Place a small bowl of ketchup in the wreath’s center for dipping.

Notes

  • Ensure the crescent rolls are sealed well around the mini hot dogs to prevent unrolling during baking.
  • Use refrigerated crescent roll dough for best results with flaky texture.
  • Rosemary sprigs add aroma and presentation but are not meant to be eaten.
  • Egg wash gives a shiny, golden crust—don’t skip it.
  • Allow the wreath to cool slightly before serving to prevent burns from hot dough or mustard.
