Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, add the egg, warm milk, egg, and sugar, then whisk them together until combined, and then add the flour, instant yeast, and salt. Fold them until the dough forms, then cover the bowl, and set it aside for about 20 minutes. Add the butter, then mix it in until incorporated, transfer the dough to a lightly floured counter, and continue to knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 2

Place the dough in a well-oiled bowl, add more oil to the dough, cover it, and set it aside for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size. After an hour, deflate the dough, transfer it to the counter, and smooth it into a ball. Divide it into 6 pieces equally, then form them into a ball, and then roll and flatten each. Place a cooked hotdog in the center, fold the side over, and seal the edges as demonstrated in the video.

Step 3

Roll it to smoothen the seams, then do the same for the rest, and place them in a baking sheet making sure to space them about 4 inches apart. Cut slits using scissors and spread each slice apart as shown in the video, then top them with pizza sauce, cheese, and pepperoni, and let them bake in a preheated oven at 180°C or 350°F for about 20 to 22 minutes.
