Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

  2. Grease the inside of an 8-inch springform pan with cooking spray.

  3. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Add salt and pepper flakes to taste.

  4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough and cut it into small rectangles measuring approximately 1 inch by 2 inches.

  5. Brush the top of each rectangle with the butter mixture, then wrap each cocktail weiner in a piece of pizza dough and seal the seam.

  6. Arrange the pigs in a blanket upright in the greased springform pan. Make sure they are snug but not too tightly packed together, as the dough needs space to bake properly.

  7. Brush the top of the pigs in a blanket with the remaining melted butter mixture.

  8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 50 to 55 minutes, or until the dough turns golden.

  9. Allow the pigs in a blanket to cool for 10 minutes before removing them from the pan.

  10. Serve the pigs in a blanket warm with your choice of dipping sauces.

Simple Steps, Big Impact

Making pull-apart pigs in a blanket is a breeze. All you need are a few basic ingredients and minimal prep time. Whether you're a seasoned chef or a beginner in the kitchen, this recipe is perfect for you. Just follow these simple steps:

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

Before you start, make sure you have the following ingredients on hand:

  • Sausages
  • Puff pastry
  • Egg wash
  • Optional: sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or cheese for toppings

Step 2: Prepare the Sausages

Take the sausages and cut them into bite-sized pieces. This will make it easier to assemble the pull-apart pigs in a blanket later.

Step 3: Roll Out the Puff Pastry

Roll out the puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface. Cut the pastry into strips, wide enough to wrap around the sausages. Each strip should be long enough to wrap around a single piece of sausage.

Step 4: Assemble the Pull-Apart Pigs in a Blanket

Take a strip of puff pastry and wrap it around a piece of sausage. Repeat this process until all the sausages are wrapped in pastry. Place the wrapped sausages in a greased baking dish, making sure they are close together to form a pull-apart shape.

Step 5: Add Toppings and Bake

Brush the top of the puff pastry with egg wash. This will give it a beautiful golden color when baked. Sprinkle on your choice of toppings, such as sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or cheese. Bake in a preheated oven until the pastry is golden brown and the sausages are cooked through.
