PIG IN A BLANKET PIZZA RECIPES

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 oven to 400°. Grease inside of a 8” springform pan with cooking spray. In a small bowl, whisk together butter, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper flakes.  On a lightly floured surface, unroll pizza dough and cut into 1”-x-2” rectangles. Brush top of each with butter mixture, then wrap each cocktail weiner in pizza dough and pinch seam shut.  Place pigs in blanket standing upright in springform pan. They should be snug, but not too tightly packed together. (Otherwise dough won’t bake!) Brush top with remaining melted butter mixture.  Bake until golden, 50 to 55 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan.  Serve warm with dipping sauces.
