2
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and prep a sheet pan with parchment paper.

Onto a floured surface, roll out the pastry sheet using a rolling pin so the dough is a little thinner (spread to about 16x12 inches).

Cut the pastry into 12 squares. Cut each hot dog in half.
5
Roll each hot dog in the pastry and set it on the sheet pan with the seam side down, making sure there's a little room in between each.
6
Crack an egg into a bowl and whisk it. Use a kitchen brush to brush the tops of each rolled hot dog.
7
Sprinkle Everything Bagel seasoning onto the tops of each rolled hot dog.
8
Bake for around 20 minutes until the pastry is puffed and slightly browned.
