Piggies in a Blanket



Sunday nights are my 'no cook night'. We usually enjoy things like nachos, pizza, chicken nuggets or leftovers. But last Sunday the boys helped me whip up a batch of these, we had so much fun and they loved them! Fun way to dress-up hot dogs when you don't have any buns.

 



Here's my little baker (hence the blog name), Mr. T

 



 

Piggies-in-a-Blanket

1 1/3c. hot water

1 Tbsp. yeast

1 Tbsp. sugar

1 tsp. salt

3 1/4- 3 1/2 c. flour

 

Combine water and yeast, allow to dissolve and stir well. Add sugar and salt, mix well. Stir in flour and knead well.

[Now if your lazy like me you just skip the above steps, throw all ingredients into your bread maker, put on dough cycle and come back in an hour :)]

Allow to rise 1/2 to 1 hour. Roll dough into large rectangle ~1/4 inch thick, cut into 1 1/2-2 inch strips, wrap (spiral-type) around hot dog (I used 12 hot dogs). Place on greased baking sheet.

 

2 Tbsp. butter

1 tsp. garlic powder

parmesan cheese, to sprinkle

 

Melt butter, stir in garlic powder and brush/drizzle over rolled hot dogs. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes. Serve with favorite condiments (mustard, ketchup, etc.)
