Time 1h50m

Yield Makes 54

Number Of Ingredients 8

All-purpose flour, for surface
2 sheets puff pastry (about 1 pound), preferably all-butter
Honey Dijon mustard
18 fully cooked sausages (each about 5 inches long), such as frankfurters, Andouille, or chicken sausages
1 large egg, beaten
Poppy seeds, for sprinkling (optional)
Flaky sea salt, such as Maldon, for sprinkling (optional)
Mustards, such as brown or whole-grain, for serving (optional)

Steps:

On a lightly floured work surface, roll each pastry sheet out into a 12-inch square, then cut into 4-inch squares. Lightly brush lower half of each square with mustard, center a sausage on mustard-coated edge, and brush top inch with egg. Roll sausages in pastry, pressing seams to tightly seal. Brush tops with egg, then sprinkle with poppy seeds or flaky salt. Cut each at an angle into thirds. Freeze pigs in blankets, uncovered, on a parchment-lined baking sheet until firm.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place frozen pigs in blankets 1 inch apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until pastry is puffed and golden brown, about 25 minutes. Serve warm with mustards.

Time 1h40m

Yield Serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 5

Unbleached all-purpose flour, for dusting
1 pound pizza dough, room temperature
10 all-beef hot dogs
Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
Grainy mustard and/or ketchup, for serving

Steps:

On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 10-by-15-inch rectangle. Cut in half lengthwise, then crosswise into ten 5-by-3-inch pieces. Wrap each piece around a hot dog; pinch edges of dough to seal. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze until firm, about 20 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375°F; brush a 9-inch springform pan with oil. Place a 4-ounce ramekin in center of pan. Trim edges of wrapped hot dogs flat (discarding excess); cut each crosswise into thirds. Brush dough with oil and arrange in pan cut-sides up, spaced 1/2 inch apart.
Cover with parchment-lined foil and bake until puffed and set, about 35 minutes. Uncover; continue baking until golden, 15 to 25 minutes more. Serve warm, with mustard or ketchup in ramekin.
