Pigs In A Blanket (Pull-Apart)
A staple at cocktail parties and get togethers from the past, this will never go out of style. Our pull-apart version takes it to the next level. No party appetizer gets tackled quite like pigs in a blanket. This two-ingredient Super Bowl starter calls for store-bought pizza dough, hot dogs, and a springform pan for pull-apart presentation. For a touchdown dipper with an extra kick, fill the ramekin with this spicy sriracha mayonnaise.
1 lb pizza dough, room temperature
10 all-beef hot dogs
extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
To Serve:
Sriracha Honey Mayonnaise
Whole Grain Mustard Honey Mayonnaise
On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 10x15" rectangle. Cut in half lengthwise, then crosswise into ten 5x3" pieces. Wrap each piece around a hot dog; pinch edges of dough to seal. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze until firm, about 20 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C/170°C fan, Gas Mark 5). Brush a 9" springform pan with oil. Place a 4 oz ramekin in center of pan.
Trim edges of wrapped hot dogs flat (discarding excess); cut each crosswise into thirds. Brush dough with oil and arrange in pan cut-sides up, spaced ½" apart.
Cover with parchment-lined foil and bake until puffed and set, about 35 minutes. Uncover; continue baking until golden, 15-25 minutes more. Serve warm, with dipping sauce.
Makes 8-10 servings.
