Everything Bagel Pigs in a Blanket
Description
Everything Bagel Pigs in a Blanket combine the simplicity of wrapping hot dogs with a unique dough made from flour, baking powder, salt, and Greek yogurt. This dough is kneaded minimally to become smooth and tacky but not sticky, then rolled into 4½-inch ovals to snugly envelop halved turkey hot dogs. Brushing with egg wash and sprinkling everything bagel seasoning on top adds a crunchy, savory finish after baking at 400°F for 25 minutes. The result is a golden-brown exterior with a soft crumb inside that contrasts well with the juicy hot dog.
The everything bagel seasoning—typically a mix including sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic, onion, and salt—adds complex savory notes that complement the mild turkey frank. This snack or appetizer is baked on parchment or a silicone mat to prevent sticking and allowed to cool briefly before serving, making it hand-held and easy to enjoy.
The dough’s use of Greek yogurt adds moisture and tenderness without requiring yeast or yeast rising time, which keeps preparation straightforward. These pigs in a blanket suit casual meals, lunchboxes, or snack times.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour plus more for dusting (5 ounces, unbleached; or whole wheat; or gluten-free mix
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup Greek yogurt I recommend Stonyfield or Fage 0%, non-fat, plain
- 1 egg beaten (whole egg works fine too, white
- 8 turkey hot dogs (such as Applegate Naturals, halved crosswise)
- 2 teaspoons everything bagel seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Line a baking sheet with a silicon baking mat or parchment paper. If using parchment paper, spray with oil to avoid sticking.
- In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt and whisk well.
- Add the yogurt and mix with a fork or spatula until well combined, it will look like small crumbles.
- Lightly dust flour on a work surface and remove dough from the bowl, knead the dough a few times until dough is smooth and tacky, but not sticky, about 15 turns (it should not leave dough on your hand when you pull away).
- Divide dough into 16 equal balls.
- Dust your work surface and a rolling pin with more flour.
- Press a ball flat then roll into a 4 ½-inch oval.
- Wrap the dough around a hot dog half and place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining hot dogs and dough.
- Brush each with the egg wash and sprinkle with Everything Bagel seasoning.
- Bake in oven for 25 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes and serve.
