If you don’t want to use crescent rolls, you can also substitute crescent dough sheets. These are made with the same dough as the crescent rolls, except it is not cut into triangles.  To use these sheets, start by unrolling them and cutting them vertically into four pieces. Cut each of these separate dough pieces horizontally into strips about 1 inch wide and then rolled around the sausage.  You can also use puff pastry dough. First, unfold the sheets. They usually come folded in thirds. Cut the sections apart and then cut strips about 1 inch wide and roll around each hot dog.
