Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough and Wrapping

  • Cooking spray, for greasing
  • 1 (13.8-oz.) tube Pillsbury pizza dough
  • All-purpose flour, for dusting

For the Butter Mixture

  • 6 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. Italian seasoning
  • Pinch of kosher salt
  • Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes

For the Filling and Serving

  • 2 (12-oz.) packages cocktail weiners (approximately 58 to 60 pieces)
  • Marinara sauce, for serving
  • Mustard, for serving
  • Ranch dressing, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare Oven and Pan: Arrange a rack in the center of your oven and preheat to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch springform pan thoroughly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Make Butter Seasoning: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, a pinch of kosher salt, and crushed red pepper flakes until well combined.
  3. Prepare Dough: Lightly dust a clean surface with all-purpose flour. Unroll the pizza dough and cut it into small rectangles measuring about 2 inches by 1 inch. You should have roughly 58 to 60 pieces to accommodate all the cocktail weiners.
  4. Wrap Cocktail Wieners: Using a brush, coat the top of each dough rectangle with the butter seasoning mixture. Place one cocktail wiener on each dough piece, wrap tightly, and pinch the seams to seal the dough around the wiener securely.
  5. Arrange in Pan: Stand the wrapped hot dogs upright in the prepared springform pan. Pack them snugly but avoid overcrowding to allow even baking. Brush any remaining butter mixture over the tops for extra flavor and browning.
  6. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake until the dough turns golden brown and cooked through, about 20 to 30 minutes.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove the pan from the oven and transfer the pigs in a blanket to a wire rack to cool slightly for 10 minutes. Release from the springform pan carefully, then serve warm with marinara sauce, mustard, and ranch dressing for dipping.

Notes

  • For best results, preheat the oven fully before baking to ensure even cooking.
  • Ensure the wrapped dough pieces aren’t too tightly packed to allow the dough to expand during baking.
  • Feel free to experiment with different dipping sauces based on preference.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
