You’ll need: 2 baking sheets, parchment paper, sharp knife or pizza cutter, pastry brush.

  1. Heat the oven to 400Β°F and line the baking sheets with parchment.
  2. Unfold each pastry sheet on a lightly floured counter and cut it into 18 strips, about 1Β½ inches wide and 3 inches long.
  3. Roll a strip around each hot dog piece, seam side down on the sheet. Brush with egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  4. Bake 18 to 22 minutes, until puffed and deep golden; the hot dogs will be steaming hot (165Β°F).
  5. Cool 5 minutes and serve with mustard and ketchup. Set it out for no more than 2 hours, then refrigerate it or swap in a fresh batch from the kitchen (USDA).
