Watson House Wednesday, Extra: Wiener Wraps and Other Fun With Hot Roll Dough

Another great thing that Mom Watson makes with her hot roll dough is wiener wraps!  For this, you only need a batch of Mom's Hot Roll dough and a package of hot dogs.  We like the larger, smoked sausage dogs, so I usually double the recipe.

Make a batch of Mom's Hot Rolls, found here:

except do not form into rolls.

Preheat the oven to 360 degrees.  On a floured surface, roll the dough out to between a half inch to an inch thick.  Cut into strips about an inch or more wide.  Wrap the dough around each of the hot dogs, and place on a greased cookie sheet.  Bake for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown.

If you end up with extra dough (This can happen, especially if you double the recipe.), you can form the remainder into rolls and bake them as usual.  Or you can experiment!

Last time I made the wiener wraps, I also made ham and cheese rolls, and they turned out pretty well!  Just take a strip or bit of shredded cheese, roll it up in a deli slice of ham, and wrap it up just like a hot dog.  Make sure you seal the ends well though, or the cheese will leak out in the baking process.  I will try to get a picture of these before they're all gone!  :)

You can also roll out this dough a bit thinner, and use it for mini-pizzas!

Edit: Here is one of the ham and cheese rollups.
