These crescent roll hot dogs are as fun to make as they are to eat, with flaky golden pastry wrapped around juicy franks. Kids love helping roll these up, making it a great kitchen activity for little hands.

Why This Recipe Works

Refrigerated crescent roll dough is the ultimate shortcut—it bakes up impossibly flaky with zero effort. Wrapping in a spiral leaves a peek of hot dog at each end for maximum kid appeal.

Ingredients

  • 8 hot dogs
  • 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 4 slices American cheese, cut in half
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds
  • Yellow mustard for serving

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Unroll crescent dough and separate into 8 triangles. Place a half slice of cheese on each triangle.

  3. 3

    Place a hot dog on the wide end of each triangle and roll up toward the point.

  4. 4

    Arrange seam-side down on the baking sheet. Brush tops with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

  5. 5

    Bake 12-14 minutes until crescent rolls are golden brown and puffed.
