Ingredients and Substitutions
- Hot dogs--Any type of regular-sized hot dog will work here. Avoid the jumbo ones, as there won't be enough dough to cover it.
- Refrigerated crescent rolls--You'll find these in the refrigerated section of most supermarkets. One can will generally have enough dough for 8 or 10 hot dogs. Don't get the jumbo roll dough, as this may be too much dough for the size of your hot dog.
How to Make Crescent Roll Hot Dogs
1. Wrap one piece of crescent roll around each hot dog, pressing the edges together to seal. Slide the hot dogs onto a roasting stick.
2. Cook over the fire, rotating frequently, until the pastry is golden brown and cooked through.
Tips and Troubleshooting
- Press the edges of the crescent roll dough together before cooking. Any gaps in the dough may split open as it cooks and cause the dough to fall away from the hot dog.
- Use low flame for cooking and keep the roasting stick about 8 inches (20 cm) from the heat to evenly cook the dough. Very hot or high flames will cause the dough to burn before it cooks through.

Recipe
Crescent Roll Campfire Dogs
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 tube refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 8 hot dogs
- Ketchup and/or mustard for dipping (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare a campfire for cooking.
- Open the tube of crescent roll dough and carefully separate the pieces. You should have 8 triangles.
- Working with one hot dog and one piece of dough at a time, starting with the wide end of the triangle, wrap the dough around the hot dog, pressing the edges together to seal. Slide the hot dog onto a roasting stick and repeat with the remaining hot dogs and pieces of dough.
- Cook over low flame, about 8 inches (20 cm) from the heat, rotating frequently until the dough is golden brown and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Serve immediately with ketchup and/or mustard for dipping, if desired.
Notes
- Mind the gap--Take care to really press the edges of the crescent roll dough together before cooking. Any gaps in the dough may split open as it cooks and cause the dough to fall away from the hot dog.
- Avoid hot flame--Use low flame for cooking and keep the roasting stick about 8 inches (20 cm) from the heat to evenly cook the dough. Very hot or high flames will cause the dough to burn before it cooks through.
