Ingredients

1 envelope dry active yeast
1 1/2 cup warm water
1 tbsp granulated sugar
4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1 pkg cocktail franks
1 large egg (white only)
Sea salt or course salt

Steps

1

Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2

In a large bowl, sprinkle the yeast into the warm water and let sit until dissolved, about 2-3 minutes. Stir the sugar into the water until dissolved.
3

Add the flour and salt to the bowl and stir to combine. The dough will be crumbly. Turn the dough out onto a floured board and knead with floured hands until smooth.
4

Divide the dough into four portions. Working with one at a time, roll them into long ropes (about 3/4-inch thick). Then, cut into 1 1/2 inch portions.
5

Flatten one portion of dough at a time, and place a cocktail frank in the middle, rolling the dough around it. Place onto the prepared cookie sheet, leaving about 1/2 inch between each piggie.
6

Once all the cocktail franks have been rolled in dough and placed onto a cookie sheet (you might need two sheets), lightly beat the egg white. Then, brush the tops of all the pigs in a blanket. Sprinkle liberally with sea salt or course salt.
7

Bake the pigs in a blanket for 14-16 minutes, until golden and cooked through. Serve.
