Ina Garten Hot Dogs In Puff Pastry Ingredients

• 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
• 4 high-quality hot dogs or bratwurst
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon water (to mix with egg wash)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt (for sprinkling)
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional, for garnish)

How To Make Ina Garten Hot Dogs In Puff Pastry

1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the puff pastry: Lightly flour your surface and roll out the puff pastry into a 10×10-inch square. Cut into four equal rectangles.
3. Assemble the hot dogs: Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on each strip (optional). Place one hot dog on each strip and roll tightly, sealing the edges.
4. Apply egg wash: Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon water and brush over each wrapped hot dog to ensure a golden finish.
5. Bake: Place the wrapped hot dogs seam-side down on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt, sesame seeds, or poppy seeds. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden and crisp.
6. Cool and serve: Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Offer ketchup, mustard, or aioli for dipping.
