Ingredients

1 cup reduced-fat milk
1 package active dry yeast
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for greasing
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1 cup fine yellow cornmeal
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting and kneading
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper or paprika
9 reduced-fat hot dogs, halved crosswise
1 large egg, beaten
1 tablespoon black sesame seeds (optional)

Directions

Warm the milk to about 110 degrees in a saucepan; pour into a medium bowl. Sprinkle in the yeast and let soften for about 2 minutes. Stir in the olive oil, brown sugar and cornmeal with a wooden spoon. Add the flour, salt, baking soda and cayenne pepper; stir to make a sticky dough.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead, adding more flour if needed, until smooth but still slightly tacky, about 5 minutes. Shape the dough into a ball, place in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Meanwhile, insert a wooden stick or small skewer into each hot dog half, about 1 inch deep; set aside.

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees and lightly oil a large baking sheet. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface; divide into 18 pieces. With your palms, roll each piece into a 10-inch length. Wrap each piece around a hot dog half, tucking and pressing the edges to seal; place on the baking sheet.

Brush the dough-wrapped dogs with the beaten egg; sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired. Bake until golden, 15 minutes.

Delicious and Easy to Make
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The cornbread was amazing. Such a good flavor. My entire family loved these! I'm sure they would be delicious with any hot... dogs, but I did use the reduced fat dogs. I followed the instructions, for the most part. Only exception was the sesame seeds - which I omitted. I made the corn dogs without skewers. They were easy to pick up and eat - plus it saved room on my baking sheet. I served the corn dogs with a honey mustard dipping sauce (dijon mustard, light mayo, and brown sugar). Read more

Not Mini-corn dogs
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

The cornmeal concoction proved to be very dense and more like cornmeal scones than the fluffy breading of a corn dog. I would... also say that anything that requires the use of yeast and rising times should not be labeled as "easy". Not bad- but definitely not worth the trouble of making again. Actually, crescent roll -wrapped hot dogs would have been easier and tastier, as a nod to another poster. I've made many recipes I've loved on this website; however, this was mislabeled both as a mini-corn dog and as "easy" to make.Read more

Great taste and my kids loved them
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this the other day for my kids who love corn dogs. The dough was easy to make and tasted wonderful. Next time I will... just wrap the dough around whole hot dogs instead of cutting them in half and won't bother with the skewers. They're not needed and I found them easier to eat without the stick. I will defnitely make these again. Read more

This recipe wasn't tiring to make OR read. The recipe was tiring to read? If a person needs to come onto Food Network website... to read a recipe and then tell us that they made pigs in a blanket then I have to ask: Why did you come onto this sight in the first place? Heck, my parents made me pigs in a blanket 30 years ago. You come on here, don't really rate the recipe fairly, and then tell us how you did it different. WOW! You made a pig in a blanket and come on here and tell us you made the recipe so different. You two must be CIA certified chefs. I can't believe how you totally came up with something new. SO amazing! You two are so devious...have you ever thought of making PB&Js and cutting the crusts off? That would be SO WILD! Do you have any news on the Titanic you want to tell us? Read more

A Family Affair
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This was a good recipe. I was so surprised that my 15 and 25 year old sons came in and decided to help roll out the dough... and wrap the dogs. We all had fun cooking together for a change. Read more
