Ingredients
  

  • 1 (8-ounce) can refrigerated crescent dough I love Pillsbury™ for consistent rise
  • 24 cocktail sausages Hebrew National™ beef or turkey, or your favorite brand
  • 1 large egg beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard (optional dip)
  • 1 teaspoon poppy seeds or sesame seeds (for a bakery-style finish)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. If you skip the paper, lightly grease the tray so the dough slides off easily.
  • Unroll the crescent dough on a clean surface. Gently pinch the perforations to seal, creating one sheet. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice into 24 equal strips—aim for about ½-inch width.
  • Lay a cocktail sausage at the wide end of each strip. Roll toward the point, tucking in the ends so they don’t peek out. It’s like gift-wrapping a little present—satisfying, right?
  • Place each roll on the sheet, seam-side down. Brush tops with beaten egg (this gives that bakery sheen). Sprinkle poppy or sesame seeds for a gourmet touch.
  • Slide the tray into the oven. Bake 12–15 minutes, rotating halfway, until edges are deep golden and dough looks puffed. You’ll smell that buttery aroma—cue happy dance.
  • Let cool for 2–3 minutes on the pan, then transfer to a platter. Serve warm with mustard or your favorite dipping sauce—honey mustard, barbecue, even sriracha mayo.

Notes

Dough thickness matters: if strips feel too thin, gently stretch—they’ll puff up nicely. Parchment paper is your friend—cleanup is a breeze. I learned that brushing with egg white only gives a matte finish but still seals edges. For extra flakiness, chill wrapped rolls in the fridge for 10 minutes before baking.
