Hi, Kristy in the Rada Kitchen, and today I want to share how to make these cute, adorable Rocket Dogs. It’s a perfect little treat for a 4^th of July party or Memorial Day. And it’s really simple. What you need is a container of unbaked bread stick dough and some hot dogs, some skewers, you want to soak these in water so they don’t burn in the oven, and a block of cheese.

So first we’ll put our hot dog on the skewer. So with the hot dog just run the pointed end of the skewer all the way through and leave about an inch at the top to put your little cheese triangle on. Now, I like to take the dough and skewer it just to secure it so when it bakes it doesn’t shrink. I like to leave space, but if you want to put it on, that’s fine. I like the hot dog to show through, gives it that spiral effect. And then wrap it around the stick and put it on an ungreased baking sheet. And you’ll want to preheat the oven to 375 degrees or you might want to look on your bread stick packaging, what they suggest to bake them at. This is only going to take about 10 minutes.

So I placed my hot dogs wrapped with the breadsticks on the Rada Cookie Sheet. This is really handy and not only makes cookies but foods like this, frozen foods like French fries and fish sticks, you’re going to put these in the oven for 10 minutes.

So while the hot dogs are in the oven, we’re going to make these little cheese triangles for the top of the rocket. I’m going to use this Rada Cheese Slicer, it slices hard cheese, it slices soft cheese like Velveeta. The great thing about it is that it has these little holes so when you cut the cheese, it allows air to get in so the piece comes off and doesn’t stick to the rest of the cheese. So I have my little pattern piece and I’m just going to, as you can see that cheese knife easily slices through harder cheese. Another unique thing about it is that at the end here it has a little fork so you can lay the cheese out on a tray and use the fork end to put cheese on your place.

So, Rocket Dogs are baked, and now we’re ready to put on the cheese triangle. And now, to make them really cute, I like to take curling ribbon and tie it to the bottom. And the Rocket Dog is ready to serve. It’s a really cute, impressive treat, your guests will enjoy it. Have a good 4^th of July!
