Super Snacks

ACTIVE 10 MIN. TOTAL 30 MIN.

1 Heat oven to 375°F. Line baking sheet with parchment. Unroll dough and brush with mustard. Cut each triangle in half to create 2 triangles.

2 Place 1 frank on wide end of triangle, then roll up and place on prepared sheet (place first 2 franks at 12 and 6 o'clock to help in arranging evenly). Repeat with remaining franks and triangles, arranging in 2 concentric circles (starting second circle at 12 and 6 o'clock again), making sure dough in both circles touches.

3 Beat egg with 1 Tbsp water, brush over dough, and sprinkle with caraway seeds. Bake until golden brown, 18 to 22 min. Serve with mustard.
