Coarse sea salt

Now that you have your ingredients, let’s move on to the steps!

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to prepare your Pretzel Pigs In A Blanket:

Prepare the Dough

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, combine warm water and baking soda until dissolved. Set aside.

Roll and Wrap

Unroll the crescent roll dough and cut each triangle into smaller strips. Wrap each mini sausage with a strip of dough, ensuring to cover it completely.

Boil and Bake

Dip each wrapped sausage into the baking soda solution for a few seconds, then place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and let cool slightly before serving.

Your Pretzel Pigs In A Blanket are now ready to enjoy!

Storing and Reheating

If you have leftovers (though they are likely to disappear quickly!), store your Pretzel Pigs In A Blanket in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can stay fresh for up to three days. When you're ready to enjoy them again, simply reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until warmed through. This method helps to maintain their crispy texture, ensuring they taste just as good as when they were freshly baked.

For longer storage, you can freeze the wrapped sausages before baking. Just place them on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. When you're ready to bake, you can cook them straight from the freezer—just add a few extra minutes to the baking time.

Serving Suggestions

To make your gathering even more enjoyable, consider serving Pretzel Pigs In A Blanket alongside a variety of snacks. Pair them with a charcuterie board featuring cheeses, cured meats, and fresh fruits for an impressive spread. This combination not only complements the savory flavors but also offers a visual feast that will entice your guests.

For a themed event, like a sports game, you can create a fun atmosphere by adding team colors to your dipping sauces or using themed plates and napkins. These little touches can make your appetizer table memorable and enhance the overall experience of your gathering.
