1 tube Pillsbury pizza dough
6 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 pinch salt
1 pinch red pepper flakes
flour, for dusting the cutting board
24 ounces cocktail wieners, remove from packing juices and pat dry (two 12-ounce packages)

Preheat oven to 375°F.
Grease the inside of an 8-inch springform pan with cooking spray.
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.
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.
Place the springform pan on a cookie sheet.
Brush the remaining butter mixture over the top of the filled pan.
Bake for 30 minutes covered loosely with foil and then remove the foil and bake another 15 minutes to allow to brown.
Let cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan.
Serve with the dipping sauces.

The Pillsbury brand of dough is bigger than generic or grocery store brands, so take that into account if you purchase another brand to prepare this recipe.
Place the springform pan on a baking sheet. This is so important so that you don’t end up with a mess in your oven from the melted butter and seasonings dripping!
