Step 2

Let dough stand, covered, for 20 minutes. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a 12 x 4–inch rectangle. Cut rectangle into 4 (4 x 3–inch) rectangles; cut each rectangle in half diagonally to form 8 triangles. Divide cheese evenly among triangles; place in the center of wide ends. Place 1/2 hot dog at the wide end of each triangle; roll up, pinching ends to seal. Arrange rolls on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 425° for 12 minutes. Combine ketchup and remaining ingredients. Serve with rolls.

Nothing special but certainly good for a family-friendly, quick and easy weeknight dinner. I used a combo of havarti and cheddar cheese because that was what I had on hand. And since I didn't want to waste the whole pizza dough, I doubled the recipe and now we have some leftovers too. Will make again.

Super easy, kid-friendly weeknight dinner. My 2.5 YO wanted seconds. Used Jenny-O Turkey Dogs which are very light (but this recipe would be phenomenal with a really good hot dog) :)

Awesome for everyone. We made these for a Super Bowl party for the kids. The adults ended up eating them too! The pizza dough really makes a difference in how they taste.

Great kid lunch for a play date. Mommy and Daddy liked it too. I served it with apple wedges but will add in the broccoli next time. Dip is yummy too.
