2. Next, open the can of crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles.
3. If you plan to use cheese, place a slice of cheddar cheese along each triangle.

5. Arrange the rolled hotdogs across the baking sheet.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for between 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls turn golden brown.

Tips to Make Hotdog Roll-Ups
If you want your roll-ups crispier, consider brushing an egg wash over the crescent roll dough before baking. For added variety, try using different types of cheese rather than just cheddar.
Variation
Instead of cheddar cheese, try using cream cheese or different flavored spreads. You can also use sausage instead of normal hotdogs for a unique flavor.
