Ingredients

  • Small check mark in a circle icon 1 can Jus-Rol™ Croissants
  • Small check mark in a circle icon 3 slices American cheese
  • Small check mark in a circle icon 12 Frankfurter hot dogs
  • Small check mark in a circle icon Mustard or ketchup, if desired
Equipment required
  • Pizza Cutter
  • Baking Paper
  • Baking Tray
  • Cooling Rack
  • Pastry Brush

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C for fan assisted ovens)/Gas Mark 6.Line a large baking sheet with baking paper.
  2. Unroll dough; separate at perforations, creating 3 rectangles. Press perforations to seal.
  3. With knife or pizza cutter, cut each rectangle lengthwise into 12 pieces, making a total of 36 pieces of dough. Slice cheese slices into quarters (1/2 slice cheese, cut in half).
  4. Wrap 3 pieces of dough around each hot dog and 1/4 slice of cheese to look like “bandages,” stretching dough slightly to completely cover hot dog. About 1/2 inch from one end of each hot dog, separate “bandages” so hot dog shows through for “face.” Place on the baking sheet (cheese side down).
  5. Bake 13 to 15 minutes or until dough is light golden brown and hot dogs are hot. With mustard, draw features on “face.”
