Ingredients
- 8 pieces Hot dogs or beef franks
- 1 package (thawed) Puff pastry sheets
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Milk
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional)
- 0.25 cup Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Carefully make spiral cuts along each hot dog using a paring knife, keeping the cuts evenly spaced and avoiding cutting through to the center.
Step 3
Unroll the puff pastry sheets onto a lightly floured surface and cut them into 8 long strips, approximately ½ inch wide.
Step 4
Wrap each puff pastry strip around a hot dog, following the spiral cuts to create the 'barber pole' effect. Press the ends of the pastry lightly to seal.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to make an egg wash. Brush the egg wash evenly over the pastry-wrapped franks.
Step 6
If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds over the pastry for added texture and flavor.
Step 7
Place the franks on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
Step 8
Bake the Barber Pole Franks in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
While the franks are baking, prepare the dipping sauce by mixing ketchup and Dijon mustard in a small bowl.
Step 10
Remove the franks from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with the prepared dipping sauce and enjoy!
