Instructions

Preheat the oven to 450F

Divide the dough into 6 equal sized pieces.

Roll each piece of dough into a long, thin rope about 4 times the length of the hot dog.

Slice each piece of string cheese in half lengthwise. Slice each hot dog in half lengthwise, but make sure to not cut all the way through. Place 1 piece of cheese in between each sliced hot dog.

Starting at one end of the hot dog, wind the pizza dough around the hot dog from one end to the other.

Place the wrapped hot dogs on a greased baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, until the dough is golden brown.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Pre-slit Your Hot Dogs 🌭
Cut a shallow lengthwise slit into each hot dog and insert a strip of string cheese before wrapping in dough to ensure the cheese stays centered and melts evenly with every bite.
Room Temperature Dough Wrapping 🌡️
Let your pizza dough sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before wrapping to make it more pliable and easier to stretch without tearing around the hot dog.
Seal the Seams Properly 🔒
Pinch and roll the dough seam to the bottom of each hot dog and seal thoroughly with water on your fingertips to prevent the dough from unraveling during baking.
Brush with Egg Wash for Golden Crust 🥚
Before baking, brush each wrapped hot dog with a beaten egg mixed with a tablespoon of water for a restaurant-quality golden, crispy exterior.
Mix Your Sauces for Flavor Depth 🎨
Combine marinara with ketchup or mustard in a small bowl before serving to create a more complex, balanced sauce that complements both pizza and hot dog flavors.
