Ingredients You’ll Need

These simple ingredients combine beautifully to give you that perfect mix of flaky, savory, and slightly tangy flavors. A quick tip—grab the freshest crescent dough sheet you can find, and don’t skip on the everything seasoning; it’s the star of the show.

Nonstick cooking spray: Essential for greasing your baking surface to keep the wreath from sticking.
Refrigerated crescent roll dough sheet: I prefer the sheet style here—it makes shaping the wreath so straightforward compared to triangles.
Mini hot dogs: The bite-sized ones work best—they bake evenly and everyone loves the little sausage bites.
Dijon mustard: Adds a nice hint of tanginess and depth to balance the richness of the dough and hot dogs.
Egg wash: This gives your wreath a gorgeous golden sheen and helps the seasoning stick perfectly.
Everything seasoning: The secret ingredient that mimics the flavors of an everything bagel with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, onion, and garlic—absolutely killer on this wreath.
Ketchup and mustard for serving: Classic dips that everyone loves alongside pigs in a blanket.
Optional: rosemary sprigs for garnish: Adds an herbal pop of color and aroma when you want to fancy things up.

Variations

I’m all about customizing recipes to fit the occasion or what you have in the fridge, and this Everything Pigs in a Blanket Wreath Recipe is no exception. Feel free to experiment with flavors or swap out ingredients to make it your own.

Cheese-stuffed version: I love adding a thin strip of cheddar or pepper jack inside the dough before wrapping it around each mini hot dog—it melts beautifully.
Spicy twist: Mix a little sriracha into the Dijon mustard for a bit of heat that wakes up your taste buds.
Gluten-free dough: If gluten is a concern, I’ve tried using gluten-free crescent dough alternatives—they work pretty well with a little extra care not to overhandle.
Seasoning swaps: Sometimes I sprinkle everything seasoning mixed with a pinch of smoked paprika for a smoky flair.

How to Make Everything Pigs in a Blanket Wreath Recipe

Step 1: Prepare Your Baking Surface and Ingredients

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) so it’s ready to go when your wreath is assembled. Lightly spray your baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray to make sure nothing sticks later. Then, unroll the crescent roll dough sheet onto a clean surface—if there are perforations, gently press them together to form one solid sheet. This will help the dough hold around the hot dogs without separating. Have your mini hot dogs and mustard handy for the next steps.

Step 2: Assemble the Wreath

Spread a light layer of Dijon mustard over the entire crescent dough sheet—don’t go too thick; you just want a subtle tang in every bite. Place mini hot dogs along the edge of the dough, spacing them evenly about an inch apart. Now comes the fun part: roll the dough over each hot dog, sealing the edges as you go, and form a circle by bringing the ends of the dough together and pressing them gently to seal. This becomes your wreath shape. Transfer the wreath carefully onto your prepared baking sheet, adjusting the shape as needed to keep it even and circular.

Step 3: Add Egg Wash and Everything Seasoning

In a small bowl, beat your egg and brush it generously over the entire wreath. This will give you that irresistible golden shine. Next, sprinkle the everything seasoning evenly on top—don’t be shy here, that seasoning is what elevates the entire wreath to another level. If you want extra flavor, add a little sprinkle of kosher salt as well.

Step 4: Bake to Perfection

Bake your Everything Pigs in a Blanket Wreath in the preheated oven for about 20–22 minutes, or until the dough is fully golden brown and cooked through. Keep an eye on it starting at 18 minutes so it doesn’t overbake. When done, let it rest for 5 minutes on the pan before transferring to a serving plate—this helps everything set and avoids burns. You’ll love the way it smells!

How to Serve Everything Pigs in a Blanket Wreath Recipe

A round wooden board is placed on a white marbled surface with a red, white, and green striped cloth in the background. On the board, there is a ring of small sausage pieces wrapped in a light golden brown dough sprinkled with white and black seeds. The sausages peek out from both ends of the dough wraps. Fresh green rosemary sprigs are scattered between the sausages, adding contrast and texture. In the center of the ring, a small white bowl holds a smooth light brown dipping sauce. A separate small white bowl with a red sauce is in the background. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Garnishes

I like to tuck a few fresh rosemary sprigs around the wreath for a little pop of green and a lovely herbaceous scent. If I’m feeling extra festive, I sometimes add small edible flowers or scatter some extra everything seasoning around the plate. Ketchup and mustard are non-negotiables on my table, and they’re perfect for dipping each bite.

Side Dishes

To keep things balanced, I usually serve this with crunchy veggie sticks like carrots and celery, or a crisp garden salad with a light vinaigrette. On game days, I pair it with baked sweet potato fries or even some creamy macaroni and cheese—comfort overload, in the best way!

Creative Ways to Present

One time, for a holiday party, I decorated the wreath with tiny cherry tomatoes and mini mozzarella balls speared on toothpicks around the edge to look like little ornaments. It made for an eye-catching appetizer that guests loved to nibble on. You can also place it on a wooden serving board with small bowls of various sauces to add variety.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

If you have leftovers (rare!), wrap the wreath tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator. I find it stays good for about 2-3 days. To keep it crispy, avoid covering it with foil, which can trap moisture. When you want to enjoy it again, be sure to reheat it properly to bring back that crisp outside.

Freezing

I’ve frozen this wreath before, but it’s best to freeze it prior to baking. Simply assemble the wreath, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil, and pop it in the freezer for up to 2 months. When you’re ready, thaw in the fridge overnight and bake as usual. This way, you get fresh-baked flavor without the extra effort.

Reheating

To reheat, I recommend using the oven or toaster oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes. This revives the flaky dough and crispiness much better than the microwave, which tends to make it soggy. Just cover loosely with foil if it looks like it’s browning too fast.

FAQs

Can I make the Everything Pigs in a Blanket Wreath Recipe vegetarian?

Absolutely! Swap the mini hot dogs with vegetarian or vegan sausage alternatives. You might want to check that the crescent roll dough is vegan if that’s important to you. The everything seasoning and mustard still make it flavorful and irresistible.
What’s the best way to prevent the dough from getting soggy?

Make sure you don’t overload the dough with mustard or other wet ingredients. A thin, even layer is best. Also, baking at the right temperature until golden helps keep the exterior crisp. Letting the wreath rest a few minutes after baking before slicing helps set the dough and minimizes sogginess.
Can I use regular crescent roll dough triangles instead of the sheet?

You can, but it’s a bit trickier to form the wreath because the triangles have seams. The sheet dough creates a smooth, even surface that’s easier to shape and keeps everything sealed nicely. If using triangles, press seams firmly to prevent splitting during baking.
How long does the wreath last if made ahead?

If baked in advance and stored properly in the fridge, it should be eaten within 2-3 days for best taste and texture. The dough tends to lose its crispness after that, though reheating can help temporarily restore some crunch.
