Time 40m

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 can (11 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Thin Crust Pizza Crust
1 (15 ounce) can Muir Glen™ organic tomato sauce
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
8 pepperoni sticks, cut in half

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Roll the pizza dough onto a floured work surface. Using a pizza cutter, slice the dough from top to bottom, into half-inch strips. Then cut the strips in half.
  • Pour the tomato sauce into a small saucepan. Add the oregano and stir to combine.
  • Lightly spread each dough strip with a tiny amount of sauce. (This is optional as you'll be using the sauce to dip the pigs in later.)
  • Lightly sprinkle the shredded cheese over the dough strips.
  • Place a pepperoni half at the tip of each strip and roll the dough around it, creating the pig in the blanket.
  • Repeat with remaining pigs. Sprinkle each one with more cheese.
  • Bake roughly 12 to 15 minutes, or until the dough is cooked through and the cheese is browned and bubbly.
  • In the meantime, warm the sauce.
  • Serve pigs with tomato dipping sauce.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for fresh, flavorful sausage, puff pastry, and cheese.
  • Thaw the puff pastry fully before using it. This will help it roll out easily and evenly.
  • Roll out the puff pastry thinly. This will help it cook evenly and get crispy.
  • Cut the puff pastry into 12 even strips. This will make it easy to wrap the sausage.
  • Wrap the sausage in the puff pastry strips tightly. This will help keep the sausage from drying out.
  • Brush the puff pastry with egg wash before baking. This will help it brown and get crispy.
  • Bake the pizza pigs in blankets until they are golden brown and cooked through. This will take about 20 minutes.
  • Serve the pizza pigs in blankets hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Pizza pigs in blankets are a fun and easy appetizer or snack that is perfect for parties or game day. They are made with just a few simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking. Get creative with your toppings and dipping sauces to make them your own. Enjoy!
