Ingredients
  

1 package (8 oz) of mini hot dogs or cocktail sausages

1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough

1 cup warm water (about 110°F or 43°C)

2 tablespoons baking soda

1 large egg, beaten

Sea salt, for sprinkling

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (for dipping)

1 tablespoon honey (for dipping)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. Use a knife to cut each triangle into smaller strips (about 1-inch wide) for wrapping the mini hot dogs.

      Wrap the Sausages: Take each mini hot dog and wrap it with a strip of crescent dough, starting from the wider end and rolling toward the point. Make sure the sausage is fully covered. Repeat until all sausages are wrapped.

        Make the Pretzel Bath: In a medium bowl, mix the warm water with baking soda until dissolved.

          Bath the Wrapped Sausages: Carefully dip each wrapped sausage into the baking soda mixture for about 15 seconds. This will give your pretzel pigs a chewy texture and beautiful color.

            Egg Wash: Place the dipped pretzel pigs on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each wrapped sausage with the beaten egg.

              Season: Sprinkle sea salt on top of each one for that authentic pretzel flavor.

                Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and puffy.

                  Prepare the Dip: In a small bowl, mix the Dijon mustard and honey together for a sweet and tangy dipping sauce.

                    Serve: Once baked, allow them to cool slightly before serving.

                        - Presentation Tips: Serve the Pretzel Pigs in a Blanket on a wooden board with the dipping sauce in the center. You can also garnish the board with pretzel salt and fresh herbs for an appealing look. Enjoy!
