Pigs In A Blanket Dough Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar in milk and water; let stand for 5 minutes. Add the egg, shortening, salt, remaining sugar and enough flour to form a soft dough. , Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. , Cut a 1/4-in.-deep lengthwise slit in each hot dog. Cut cheese slices into five strips; place one strip in a slit of each hot dog., Punch dough down; divide into 10 portions. Roll each into a 5-in. x 2-1/2-in. rectangle and wrap around prepared hot dogs; pinch seam and ends to seal. , Place seam side down on greased baking sheets; let rise for 30 minutes. Bake at 350° for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Sift the dry ingredients in a bowl.
• Mix in the butter/margarine and milk.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to desired thickness and as wide as the hot dogs to be wrapped are.
• Wrap the individual hot dogs or sausages in their own blanket.
• Bake at 425°F for about 10 minutes or until slightly brown.
• *If you get to the end of the dough, yet still have more hot dogs left without blankets, it's easy just to roll the wrapped hot dogs between your hand and your work surface to make their blanket thinner, that way you can cut off the excess dough off from either side of the hot dog and combine the ends and roll out another strip of blanket. Maybe you'd like to consider adding a bit of cheese inside the blanket for added flavor.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. Separate crescent dough into triangles. Place hot dogs at wide ends of triangles and roll up. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Combine egg and water; brush over rolls. Sprinkle caraway over tops; press lightly into rolls. , Bake 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cut each triangle of crescent roll dough into thirds lengthwise, making 3 small strips from each roll.
• Brush the dough strips lightly with Dijon mustard. Put the mini hot dogs on 1 end of the dough and roll up.
• Arrange them, seam side down, on a greased cookie sheet. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with poppy seeds or sesame seeds. Bake until golden brown, about 12 to 15 minutes. Serve warm with the dipping sauce.
• Mix all of the ingredients in a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until serving. Can be made a day ahead.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400ºF. Grease a large baking sheet. Sift the dry ingredients (flour through salt) into a mixing bowl (or dump them in one at a time, whatever).
• Rub the butter pieces into the dry ingredients until mixture is crumbly. Stir in cheese until evenly distributed.
• Make a well in the dry ingredients and add the buttermilk. Stir well with a wooden spoon. Let the dough sit for 3 minutes.
• Sprinkle the dough with flour and stir once or twice then turn out onto a well floured counter.
• With floured hands, pat the dough into a 15 by 7 inch rectangle, trimming the sides if necessary to get a true rectangle. (Handle the dough as little as possible for tenderness, yeah right).
• Using a pizza cutter, slice the rectangle into thirds horizontally then slice each third into thirds vertically, this will give you 9 small rectangles. Slice each rectangle diagonally into two thin triangles.
• One at a time, roll up the sausages in the triangles. Place pointy side down on greased cookie sheet.
• Bake for 12 to 13 minutes, until golden brown. Cool on the sheet for 3 minutes then tranfer to a wire rack.

Steps:

• Cut four 4-ounce bratwurst or knockwurst sausages into 6 rounds each. Stretch 1/2 pound pizza dough into a 6-by-12-inch rectangle; cut crosswise into 12 strips, then cut each strip in half. Wrap each strip around a sausage round and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet; brush the dough with beaten egg and sprinkle with poppy seeds. Bake at 400 degrees F until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Serve with mustard.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper sprayed with cooking spray.
• Open up the pizza dough and pat out into an even 14-by-10-inch rectangle, with the longest side at the top. Cut into 32 rectangles by cutting 8 vertical strips, then cutting each strip 4 times horizontally.
• Place a teaspoon of pizza sauce into the center of each rectangle, then top with a piece of mozzarella. Sprinkle on a few crushed red pepper flakes and top each with a slice of pepperoni. Place a hot dog across the shorter side (so it sticks out). Roll up each rectangle, pressing the seam to secure. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough and fillings.
• Beat the egg in a small bowl with 1 tablespoon water and brush over the top of the dough.
• Mix together the Parmesan and Italian seasoning and sprinkle over the prepared pigs in blankets.
• Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Serve with the remaining pizza sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Mix together the poppy seeds, garlic, onion and sesame seeds in a small bowl; set aside.
• Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Add the butter and work it into the flour mixture with your fingers until the butter is broken down into very small pea-size pieces. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk. Using a fork, stir the dry ingredients into the wet.
• Once the dough comes together, knead it gently a couple of times on a well-floured surface. Roll out the dough to a little thinner than 1/8 inch. Cut as many 1 1/2-by-3-inch rectangles as you can. (You should get at least 30 pieces.) Place a mini hot dog onto each rectangle and roll it up, making sure the short ends overlap; seal and arrange seam-side down 2-inches apart on a baking sheet. Brush each dough-wrapped hot dog with the egg and top with 2 generous pinches of the topping.
• Bake in the oven until golden brown, 17 to 20 minutes. Serve with mustard on the side, for dipping.

Steps:

• Make the pastry: Cut each stick of frozen butter into four pieces and grate using a shredding disc in a food processor. Change to the regular blade. Add the 1 1/2 cups flour and pulse 15 or 20 times, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the sour cream and pulse until the dough comes together. (This can also be done by hand, using a box grater to shred the butter, working the flour into it with your fingertips or a fork, then mixing in the sour cream.)
• Turn the dough out on a floured surface and knead briefly to form a smooth ball. Divide the dough in half and flatten each piece. Place each in a zipper-top sandwich bag, press out any air, seal the bag and use a rolling pin to roll the dough until it fills the bag, forming a square. Refrigerate two hours or overnight.
• Make the pigs in a blanket: Heat a 10-inch skillet, preferably cast-iron, on medium. If your cocktail franks came in a plastic package, pat them dry on paper towels. Place the franks in the pan and cook, turning, frequently, until they're lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels. Let cool to room temperature.
• Remove dough from sandwich bags by cutting the bags and peeling them off. Roll each square of dough on a lightly floured board into a 9-by-12-inch rectangle that is about 1/8-inch thick. Cut each into four 9-by-3-inch strips, then cut each strip crosswise into six 1 1/2-inch sections. You should have 48 rectangles that are each 1 1/2 by 3 inches.
• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil.
• Place a cocktail frank on each piece of dough, across the rectangle so the longer side can be wrapped around the frank. Roll the dough around the frank, moisten the edge with water and press closed. Place each wrapped frank seam side down on the baking sheet.
• Bake until golden, about 25 minutes. Serve at once or let cool and refrigerate or freeze, then let come to room temperature and warm at 250 degrees for 15 minutes. Serve with mustard alongside for dipping.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Wrap cheese around each frankfurter then the biscuit around that. Put on cookie sheet with the overlap of biscuit faced down, so you don't have to use tooth picks.
• Bake in preheated oven until biscuits are brown, about 10 to 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F (220˚C).
• Slice the puff pastry into 6 even rectangles. Place a slice of cheddar on top of each puff pastry piece.
• Place a hot dog on the cheddar, then roll it up.
• Slice each roll into 3 even pieces, and arrange the pieces evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper with a 1-inch (2-cm) gap between the pieces.
• Bake for 15 minutes, until golden brown and flaky.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Lightly dust a work surface with flour and roll out the puff pastry to about 1/8-inch thick.
• Cut the dough into small triangles 2 inches wide along one side.
• Brush the sausage pieces with the mustard.
• Place a sausage along one edge of the puff pastry and roll it around the sausage.
• Brush with some of the egg wash and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Repeat with all the sausages and puff pastry triangles.
• Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes.
• Serve warm.
• Makes about 24 appetizers.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar and baking powder. Cut in shortening and butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add milk, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball. Divide dough into three portions. Refrigerate until chilled., Meanwhile, for filling, in a large bowl, combine Zwieback crumbs, salt and pepper. Crumble beef and pork over mixture and mix well. Shape rounded tablespoonfuls of meat mixture into 3-in. logs; set aside., Preheat oven to 350°. On a floured surface, knead one portion of dough 8-10 times. Roll dough to 1/8-in. thickness; cut with a floured 3-in. round cutter. , Place one log in the center of each circle. Brush edges of dough with water; fold dough over filling and pinch edges to seal. Reroll scraps. Repeat with remaining dough and filling., Place on greased racks in shallow baking pans. Bake 35-40 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160°. Serve with mustard if desired.

Steps:

• Divide sausage, forming 30 to 36 "Pigs".
• (About half the length of a hot dog) Do not roll in hands, form carefully with finger tips or fork.
• Sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in margarine as for pie dough.
• Mix in milk, form into smooth ball.
• Roll dough to 1/4 inch thickness, cut into strips about 3 1/2 inches wide. Wrap "pig" loosely in dough, overlapping on the bottom.
• Do not pinch ends shut. Prick top of each "pig" with a fork.
• Place on ungreased cookie sheets, bake 15 minutes at 400 degrees, then 15 minutes at 350 degrees until brown.
• May be frozen up to 4 months.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450˚F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and set it aside.
• Lay 1 sheet of phyllo on a work surface (cover the remaining phyllo with a slightly damp kitchen towel to keep it from drying out). Spray the phyllo sheet generously with cooking spray. Top with another sheet of phyllo. Spray the second sheet of phyllo with cooking spray. Cut the phyllo stack lengthwise into 3 strips (each strip should measure about 3x9 inches). Place 1 piece of hot dog at the end of each strip. Fold the sides of the phyllo in to overlap the edges of the hot dog pieces. Roll the hot dogs up tightly to encase them in phyllo. Place the rolled hot dogs, seam side down, on the prepared baking sheet.
• Repeat the process with the remaining hot dogs and phyllo. When all of the hot-dog packages have been assembled, spray them lightly with cooking spray, and bake until they are golden brown and crispy, about 16 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring the milk to a boil in a small nonstick saucepan over high heat. Add the cheese and whisk until it melts. Continue whisking until the sauce is smooth. Whisk in the ketchup and mustard.
• Serve the hot dogs with the warm sauce for dipping.
