Ingredients
  

  • 1 can Pilsbury pizza dough / sheet dough
  • 1 package Lit'l Smokies
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese cubes
  • 2 tablespoons black sesame seeds
  • 2 tablespoons poppyseeds
  • 2 tablespoon dried minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons dried minced onion
  • 1 tablespoon white sesame seeds
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 egg whisked
  • honey mustard sauce for dipping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F. Roll out the pizza dough and cut into 10 long strips lengthwise and 5-6 long strips across. You should have about 50-60 individual pieces that are about an inch long.
  • Wrap each smokie in a strip of dough. For any remaining dough, wrap around the cheese cubes as desired.
  • For the everything bagel topping: in a small bowl stir together the sesame seeds, poppyseeds, dried minced garlic, dried minced onion, salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Grease a springform pan or round cake pan. Arrange the wrapped hot dogs and cheese into a circle, stacking as you go. OPTIONAL: Place a ramekin in the center to keep the shape as it cooks.
  • Brush the whisked egg over the top of the dough bits. Sprinkle the everything bagel topping over the dough as desired. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
  • Serve with warmed honey mustard or your favorite BBQ sauce. Enjoy!
