Instructions

  • Heat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment for easy cleanup.
  • Chill the dough for 10 minutes if it feels soft. Cold dough cuts and wraps cleanly.
  • In a small bowl, whisk maple syrup, brown sugar, Dijon, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic powder, and cayenne until smooth.
  • Taste and tweak: Add more Dijon for tang or more maple for sweetness. You want sweet, salty, and a gentle heat.
  • Unroll crescent dough. If using puff pastry, roll to about 1/8-inch thickness.
  • Cut into 24 strips roughly 1 x 3 inches, or size to wrap each mini sausage with a small overlap.
  • Pat sausages dry with a paper towel so the dough adheres well.
  • Wrap each sausage with a strip of dough, seam side down on the sheet pan.
  • Whisk egg and water. Brush lightly over the tops for shine and color.
  • Brush a thin layer of the glaze over each piece. Keep some glaze for basting midway through baking.
  • Sprinkle with sesame or everything seasoning if you like.
  • Bake for 12–15 minutes until puffed and lightly golden.
  • Pull out briefly, brush with more glaze, and return to the oven for 3–5 minutes until deep golden and glossy.
  • Finish with a pinch of flaky salt for contrast.
  • Let them rest 5 minutes so the glaze sets.
  • Serve warm with mustard or your favorite dip.
