Firecracker hot dogs are perfect for your holiday menu
1. Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spray parchment lightly with vegetable oil spray.
2. Carefully push 1 skewer lengthwise (the long way) through center of each hot dog.
3. Use your hands to pat and stretch 1 biscuit dough round into an oval, about 8 inches long. Cut the oval in half lengthwise. Repeat stretching and cutting with 3 additional biscuit dough rounds.
4. Starting from the top, wrap 1 dough strip around each hot dog in a spiral, leaving gaps in the spiral as you wrap. Place on the parchment-lined baking sheet, tucking the ends of the dough strips underneath the hot dogs.
5. Use a pastry brush to brush the tops of the dough strips with egg. Sprinkle sesame seeds over top.
6. Bake until biscuit strips are golden brown, about 15 minutes. Let hot dogs cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.
Recipe note: You can make your hot dogs extra-special by making a topper for your skewers!
