Easy Hot Dog Breadsticks
Take hot dogs to a new level by making Hot Dog Breadsticks for your family. This recipe is so simple, that kids can help make it. Even 3-year-olds can wrap the hot dogs with the breadsticks.
When I first made this recipe in 2017 Pillsbury made refrigerated breadsticks. While they still may, they are not available in my supermarket. I’ve updated the recipe to use Pillsbury pizza dough.
I have found when I invite my boys into the kitchen to help, they are more likely to try what they have made or helped make. My oldest discovered he liked strawberries after helping me make a pound cake I topped with berries for dessert.
I eventually did find Pillsbury breadsticks but it wasn’t easy. If you are having trouble finding them, use refrigerated crescent rolls. Just put one hot dog on the long end of each crescent triangle and roll up. Like a giant pig in a blanket! If your kids are involved in after school activities, these are great for a quick dinner on a busy night or a weekend lunch.

OH my gosh I am drooling over these breadsticks!! Need to try this recipe idea–thanks!
I kid you not, I have been craving hot dogs all damn day…the issue is I am currently doing a vegetarian challenge. I have 1.5 months left! lol.
These look so good!!!!! I want to make them tonight!
These look tasty and remind me of the “Pigs in a Blanket” my mom sometimes made for us when I was a kid. Combined with a salad, they would make a quick, delicious dinner or lunch. Thanks for sharing!
Oh wow this is a recipe I have never heard of! Sounds really good I need to try it!
What a fun idea! My kids would love these!
i love a hot dog every once in a while! i’ve seen these turned into mummies for Halloween which was so cute too!
Pigs in a blanket are always a hit with grandkids.
This is such a great idea for a small dinner or quick snack! I’ll definitely try this with the crescent rolls!
Mom used to make these when I was a kid. Sometimes a little rough and sometimes very tender, fluffy dough. She made them from scratch.
This brings back memories of making crescent dogs for my kids when they were younger. This is definitely a kid-friendly recipe for making and eating!
My kids are also way more likely to try something that they help make. In this case though, they’d probably take a hot dog wrapped in breadsticks from a stranger! Seriously though, they’d love these!
