Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 8 ounce package crescent rolls
- 14 ounces cocktail sausages
Butter Mixture
- 1 Tablespoon minced garlic
- ¼ cup salted butter, melted
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Topping
- 2 Tablespoons Everything Bagel Seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the proper temperature while you prepare the wreath.
- Prepare the butter mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, and salt. Microwave the mixture in 15-second intervals until the butter is fully melted and stir to blend all ingredients evenly.
- Unroll and brush the dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a flat surface and use a pastry brush to spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over the entire surface of the dough.
- Cut the dough: With a pizza cutter, slice each crescent roll triangle into three long strips, creating manageable pieces for wrapping.
- Wrap the sausages: Take each cocktail sausage and wrap a strip of the crescent dough around it securely. Place the wrapped sausages on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Using a small bowl as a guide, arrange the wrapped sausages side-by-side in a large circle to form the outer wreath.
- Create the inner wreath circle: Once the outer ring is complete, form a second, smaller inner circle with the remaining wrapped sausages, making sure the pieces touch to create a continuous wreath shape.
- Add final touches: Brush the wreath generously with the remaining butter mixture and sprinkle everything bagel seasoning over the top for extra flavor and a crunchy texture.
- Bake the wreath: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Garnish and serve: Optional—tuck fresh rosemary sprigs around the wreath for a festive aroma and presentation. Place a bowl of ketchup or preferred dipping sauce in the center of the wreath for serving.
