Note

For easier handling, ensure the hot dogs are slightly chilled before stuffing.

You can substitute the cheddar cheese with pepper jack for a spicy kick or mozzarella for a milder flavor.

Serve with ketchup, mustard, or a creamy garlic sauce for dipping.

If the dough tears while rolling, simply pinch it back together; the baking process will help seal it.
