Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Roll the pizza dough onto a floured work surface. Using a pizza cutter, slice the dough from top to bottom, into half-inch strips. Then cut the strips in half.
- Pour the tomato sauce into a small saucepan. Add the oregano and stir to combine.
- Lightly spread each dough strip with a tiny amount of sauce. (This is optional as you'll be using the sauce to dip the pigs in later.)
- Lightly sprinkle the shredded cheese over the dough strips.
- Place a pepperoni half at the tip of each strip and roll the dough around it, creating the pig in the blanket.
- Repeat with remaining pigs. Sprinkle each one with more cheese.
- Bake roughly 12 to 15 minutes, or until the dough is cooked through and the cheese is browned and bubbly.
- In the meantime, warm the sauce.
- Serve pigs with tomato dipping sauce.

PIGS IN A BLANKET
For decades, pigs in a blanket have been a staple on the cocktail-party circuit. The little sausages are the easy part. It's the pastry which, at its finest, should approximate buttery, flaky French puff pastry or pâte feuilletée. Suppose you could make decently flaky puff pastry in minutes? Christian Leue, the manager of La Boîte, a spice emporium in New York, has developed just such a marvel. And it works.

Steps:
- Make the pastry: Cut each stick of frozen butter into four pieces and grate using a shredding disc in a food processor. Change to the regular blade. Add the 1 1/2 cups flour and pulse 15 or 20 times, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the sour cream and pulse until the dough comes together. (This can also be done by hand, using a box grater to shred the butter, working the flour into it with your fingertips or a fork, then mixing in the sour cream.)
- Turn the dough out on a floured surface and knead briefly to form a smooth ball. Divide the dough in half and flatten each piece. Place each in a zipper-top sandwich bag, press out any air, seal the bag and use a rolling pin to roll the dough until it fills the bag, forming a square. Refrigerate two hours or overnight.
- Make the pigs in a blanket: Heat a 10-inch skillet, preferably cast-iron, on medium. If your cocktail franks came in a plastic package, pat them dry on paper towels. Place the franks in the pan and cook, turning, frequently, until they're lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels. Let cool to room temperature.
- Remove dough from sandwich bags by cutting the bags and peeling them off. Roll each square of dough on a lightly floured board into a 9-by-12-inch rectangle that is about 1/8-inch thick. Cut each into four 9-by-3-inch strips, then cut each strip crosswise into six 1 1/2-inch sections. You should have 48 rectangles that are each 1 1/2 by 3 inches.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil.
- Place a cocktail frank on each piece of dough, across the rectangle so the longer side can be wrapped around the frank. Roll the dough around the frank, moisten the edge with water and press closed. Place each wrapped frank seam side down on the baking sheet.
- Bake until golden, about 25 minutes. Serve at once or let cool and refrigerate or freeze, then let come to room temperature and warm at 250 degrees for 15 minutes. Serve with mustard alongside for dipping.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the pigs in blankets will be. Use fresh, good-quality sausages and bacon, and a flavorful cheese.
- Don't overcook the sausages: Sausages are cooked through when they reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit (71 degrees Celsius). Overcooking them will make them dry and tough.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the sausages: This will help to prevent them from tearing.
- Wrap the sausages tightly in the bacon: This will help to keep them moist and juicy.
- Bake the pigs in blankets at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy, golden-brown crust.
- Serve the pigs in blankets immediately: They are best when eaten hot out of the oven.
Conclusion:
Pigs in blankets are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any party or gathering. They are also a great way to use up leftover sausages. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and impressive dish that everyone will love.
