Steps
Tap an underlined word for a quick explanation.
Unroll the crescent dough and pull apart the 8 triangles along the perforations.
Lay a half slice of cheese across the wide end of each triangle and a hot dog on top.
Roll each one up toward the point, then sprinkle the tops with everything seasoning.
Dolly’s tip: Finish with the point underneath. It holds the roll shut while it bakes.Heat the air fryer to 350°F for 3 minutes.
Timer: 3 min
Air fry 4 at a time, seam side down with space between them, for 8 to 10 minutes, until puffed and deep and the hot dogs are hot through.
Golden brown. Golden brown is the color of good toast, somewhere between yellow and light brown. It means the outside is cooked and crisp but not burnt.
How you’ll know: It looks like toast and smells toasty; dark brown with a bitter smell means it went too far.
Timer: 9 min
Dolly’s tip: Lift one and check the bottom. Pale dough underneath needs 2 more minutes.Repeat with the rest, then serve with ketchup, mustard and baby carrots.
