Getting Pigs in a Blanket Out of Pizza Dough

When you want a new and fun item to add to your menu, think pigs in a blanket! Pigs in a blanket are a great dish that everyone loves, and they can appear either as an appetizer or an entrée. Plus, they’re super easy to make using our pizza dough.

Using frozen pizza sheets or dough that you’ve rolled out, cut the dough into long strips. Start from the long bottom edge of the dough and cut up. You want enough dough to almost cover the entire piece of meat inside; but not too much. Each strip should be about two to three inches across.

Then place a cocktail wiener, a piece of sausage, or hot dog lengthwise across the strip, close to the top. Then, just roll the retail pizza dough along the counter, wrapping the meat up as you go. When you’re finished rolling, there should be at least an inch of meat emerging from each end of the dough.

Brush with olive oil and place in a 400 degree oven for about ten minutes, or until both the dough and the meat have completely cooked through. If the meat has not finished cooking before the dough, cover lightly with aluminum foil until the meat is finished cooking. Then just offer them up to your customers along with some spicy mustard, marinara sauce, or any other dipping sauce you know they’ll love!
