Fun and easy Pigs in a Blanket made gluten free with our buttery flaky homemade crescent roll dough. Top with Everything Bagel Seasoning and add honey mustard for dipping.
Place the flour, sugar, yeast, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Cut the butter into small pieces and add to the flour mixture. Use a pastry blender (or your hands), to work the butter into the flour until only pea-sized pieces remain. You can also do this step in a food processor.
Whisk the milk, water, and egg together in a small bowl, and add to the flour/butter mixture. Use a spatula to stir together until the dough gathers itself into a ball. You may need to use your hands to finish this step.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at 30 minutes.
Dust the work surface with flour, and roll the dough out to a rough rectangle shape, about ½-inch thick. Fold the dough into thirds (see photos in the blog post). Turn 90 degrees, roll, and fold into thirds again.
Repeat the folding pattern 3 more times, wrap the dough in plastic wrap, and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Divide the dough into 2 equal portions. Roll each portion out into a long rectangle, about ⅛ to ¼ -inch thick, 15-inches long, and 6 inches wide.
Cut the dough into skinny triangles. Place sausage on the shortest side of each triangle. Roll up each, starting at the shortest side of the triangle and rolling to the opposite point; place point side down on 2 ungreased cookie sheets.
Mix together the egg and water. Using a pastry brush gently brush the egg wash over the rolls. This step is optional but helps give a more golden color. Sprinkle the tops with the everything bagel seasoning.
Proof the rolled dogs for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F, then bake for 13 to 15 minutes or until puffed and golden. Serve with honey mustard.
