Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 can pre-made crescent roll dough (about 8 oz)
  • 24 mini sausages or cocktail wieners

For the Finish

  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or 1 beaten egg (for wash)
  • Optional: garlic powder, paprika, poppy seeds, or sesame seeds for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Dough and Sausages: Preheat your oven according to the crescent roll dough package instructions. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles. Have your mini sausages ready and set aside.
  2. Wrap Each Sausage: Place a mini sausage on the wide end of a dough triangle. Roll it up tightly toward the pointed end, making sure the sausage is fully enclosed in dough. Repeat until all sausages are wrapped.
  3. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place each wrapped sausage on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them evenly to ensure even baking and golden edges.
  4. Apply Butter or Egg Wash: Brush the tops of each wrapped sausage with melted butter or the beaten egg wash to encourage a shiny, golden finish during baking. Optionally, sprinkle garlic powder, paprika, poppy, or sesame seeds for added flavor and texture.
  5. Bake Until Golden: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are puffed up and golden brown. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Keep the crescent dough cold until ready to wrap for easier handling and a better texture.
  • Use smaller-sized mini sausages for an even bake and balanced dough-to-filling ratio.
  • Sprinkle poppy or sesame seeds on top before baking for extra crunch and visual appeal.
  • Baking on parchment paper prevents sticking and simplifies cleanup.
  • Serve with dipping sauces like ketchup, mustard, honey mustard, barbecue sauce, cheese dip, or spicy sriracha mayo for variety.
