How to Make Crescent Roll Hot Dogs

These hot dogs are effortless to make with only two simple ingredients. Open a can of crescent roll dough and cut into four rectangles. Seal perforations if using crescent rolls. Place a hotdog in the center of each rectangle and fold the dough over the hotdog. Cut the hotdog into eight slices – leaving the extra dough on the edge uncut. Place the cut hot dogs on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Twist the first cut portion to the left and the second to the right; repeat this for the rest of the cut sections. Bake in a preheated oven until golden brown. Top with your favorite hot dog toppings: ketchup, mustard, relish, onions, coleslaw, or chili.

Helpful Tips & Frequently Asked Questions

    • Substitute turkey dogs for lower calories.
  • You can use crescent dough sheets or crescent rolls. If using crescent rolls, make sure to seal the perforations.
  • The trick to making these hot dogs is to make sure that there is some extra dough at the seam after you wrap the dog; you need some uncut dough at the seam so you can twist it more easily. 
  • Add half of a slice of American cheese or shredded cheddar cheese to the hot dogs. You can add the cheese inside the dough or sprinkle it over the top of the hot dogs.

  1. You are one twisted woman!

    Those look great, but I have to admit, Mr. Legs lost points in my book for the first time ever, for not liking hot dogs. Have you checked him for a zipper? He might be an alien or something wearing a human suit;)

  2. These look so cute! My hubby doesn't like hot dogs either (not even a Chicago Dog…helloooo!). I'll have to give this version a try!

  3. These look fabulous! Great job. Chicken Legs doesn't like hotdogs???? geez. 🙂 I have a hot dog about every six months. Love em.
