These Hot Dogs On A Stick are reminiscent of the kind of fun-to-eat street food you might find at a carnival or a fair. They’re one of those quick meals that are fun to make and eat. Use a quality hot dog of your choice I’m a bit partial to Nathan’s for these, then wrap in frozen bread dough. Using thawed frozen dinner rolls gives them the flavor of being wrapped in pretzel dough. It’s simple kid friendly food and they can help, too. It never ceases to amaze me whose first to grab one of these to eat. Serve with a variety of seasoned ketchup and prepared flavors of mustard and let the kids go to town dipping into their favorites. I’m willing to bet, it’s the big kids that’ll go first.

Hot Dogs On A Stick
Ingredients
- 12 frozen dinner rolls thawed but still cold [i.e. Rhodes]
- 6 bun length hot dogs cut in half
- 3 slices thick cut cheddar cheese, cut in half 6 slices if wrapping all of the hot dogs
- 12 wooden skewers
- 1 large egg beaten
- 2 tsp sesame seeds
- Ketchup and mustard for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and line 2 baking sheets with foil or parchment. If using foil, spritz with cooking spray. Set aside.
- On a non-stick surface, roll each dinner roll into a 10 inch rope.
- Wrap 6 of the hot dogs with cheese first and then dough. To do this, cut 3 slices of cheese in half and wrap 1 piece around the hot dog first, then spiral wrap with dough.
- For the remaining 6 hot dogs wrap only with dough.
- Begin at the bottom end of the hot dog and spiral wrap working to the top. Insert the skewer.
- Place onto the prepared cookie sheet. Brush the top and sides of each with egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden. Serve with ketchup and mustard for dipping. Yield: 12 hot dogs on a stick

April 15, 2014 at 10:06 pmI love this simple recipe Melissa. I’m going to sprinkle coarse salt on top of the dough and omit the sesame seeds. Can’t wait to be invited to bring a dish somewhere. It’s becomming that time of year (well maybe not yet- but soon).

April 15, 2014 at 10:22 pmHi Linda, coarse sea salt will make this taste just like a pretzel. Fun and easy eats. ☺

May 26, 2018 at 6:51 pmWhy the 6 hot dog buns? No where in directions does it use them?
Melissa says
May 26, 2018 at 8:41 pmThere are no buns in this recipe. Are you referring to the bun length hotdogs?
