Steps
- 01Unroll the crescent dough and separate into 8 triangles.
- 02If using cocktail wieners, cut each triangle in half lengthwise to make 16 smaller triangles (one wiener each). If using mini hot dogs, use the full triangle (one dog each).
- 03Place a wiener or dog at the wide end of each triangle. Roll toward the point.
- 04Place seam-side down in the basket. Brush with egg wash if you want a shiny, golden finish.
- 05Ready for the air fryer.
Seam-side down is critical. If the seam faces up, the dough unrolls during cooking and you get a naked hot dog next to a piece of puffed pastry. Seam down, the weight of the dog holds the dough shut while it bakes around it.
