The savory croissants are easy and quick to prepare and can be customized by adding cheese or spices to enrich the flavor.

Steps for preparing and baking savory croissants with hot dogs
Take the hot dogs and cut them into pieces (cut each hot dog into 4 parts).
Unroll the round puff pastry sheet, then divide it in half vertically and in half horizontally to get 4 parts, then divide each part into three triangles to make a total of 12 triangles (if you want, you can make smaller triangles and get more savory croissants).
Make a small cut at the base of each triangle, then place a piece of hot dog at the base and roll it up towards the tip, repeat the same process with all the available hot dogs.
Place the croissants on a non-stick baking sheet. Separately, put an egg yolk in a small bowl, then add a little milk and beat the two ingredients well with a fork, then brush the mixture onto the croissants with a silicone brush.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
Bake in a preheated oven at 356°F (180°C) for 15 minutes, until golden.
The savory croissants are excellent either warm or at room temperature.
