Notes
Room temperature pastry: Ensure you're using cold puff pastry that's pliable but not frozen to prevent it from cracking when rolling.
Proper sealing: Seal the seams of the pastry tightly around the hot dogs to prevent them from unraveling during baking.
Even baking: For best results, arrange the wrapped hot dogs on the sheet pan with some space between them to allow for even air circulation and a consistent brown color.
Storage: You can assemble the pigs in a blanket ahead of time and refrigerate them until ready to bake. Just remember to brush them with egg wash and sprinkle with seeds just before baking. Reheat leftover puff pastry sausage rolls in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes or until warmed through. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and enjoy them the next day.
