Ingredients needed to Make this Pull-Apart Pigs in a Blanket recipe:
- 1 tube Pillsbury pizza dough
- 2 (12 ounces) packages cocktail wieners remove from packing juices and pat dry
- 6 Tablespoon butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of red pepper flakes
- Flour for cutting board
The Pillsbury brand dough is bigger than generic or store brands, so take that into account if you purchase another brand to prepare this recipe.
How to MAKE Pull-Apart Pigs in a Blanket
Grease the inside of an 8-inch springform pan with cooking spray — you don’t want these little guys to stick after baking!
In a small bowl melt the butter and add the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and red pepper flakes.
On a lightly floured surface remove the pizza crust from the tube and unroll onto the floured surface. Square it up. Using a pizza cutter cut strips 1 inch by 2 inches.
PRO TIP: To keep your strips even, you can use the edge of a plastic cutting mat.
Brush the crust with the butter mixture (there will be some leftover for later). Wrap each cocktail wiener in a small strip of dough and pinch the seam together.
Place the pigs in a blanket standing up in the springform pan, not packed too tightly. You can tip the pan at an angle while stacking them in so that they don’t tip over like dominoes while you’re working.
PRO TIP: Place the springform pan on a cookie sheet. This is sooo important so that you don’t end up with a mess in your oven from the butter and seasonings dripping!
Brush the remaining butter mixture over the top of the filled pan. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes at 375 degrees. The last 20-25 minutes cover the top loosely with foil. Let cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan.
What to Serve with Pull-Apart Pigs in a Blanket
Serve with the dipping sauces. We like ours with ranch, marinara, ketchup, or mustard. You could also make our homemade beer cheese dip as well.
You could use classic yellow mustard, or go with spicy brown mustard, or honey mustard, based on preferences. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
It pairs wonderfully on a party food table with these appetizers:
- Bacon cheddar cream cheese dip – always a big hit.
- Instant Pot chicken wings – hearty and yummy.
- Rotel dip – universally popular.
I hope that you enjoy making and eating these tasty little pull-apart pigs in a blanket soon!
