Equipment

  • Baking sheet or pizza pan A round pizza pan works great for shaping the wreath. You can also use a large rectangular baking sheet and freehand the circle.
  • Parchment paper Makes cleanup easy and prevents sticking.
  • Small Mixing Bowl For the honey mustard sauce.
  • Pastry Brush To brush on the egg wash and optional garlic butter.
  • Measuring cups and spoons For precise ingredients.
  • Knife or kitchen shears For cutting sausages, if not using little smokies.
  • Oven Preheated to 375°F (190°C) for even baking.

Ingredients
  

For the Wreath

  • 2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough 8 oz each
  • 1 package little smokies about 14 oz, or sub with conecuh sausage, chopped into small pieces
  • 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds optional, for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds optional
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley for garnish

For the Honey Mustard Center

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • Salt to taste

Optional Add-ins

  • A sprinkle of shredded cheddar or pepper jack cheese inside each roll
  • A brush of garlic butter before baking for an extra flavor boost

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line your baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Prepare the Crescent Rolls

  1. Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into individual triangles. If you're using the sheets instead, cut them into triangles. Arrange them in a circle on your baking pan with the wide ends overlapping in the center and the pointy ends facing outward, forming a sun-like shape.

Add the Sausages

  1. Place a little smoky or a piece of conecuh sausage on the wide end of each triangle. If you're using cheese, sprinkle it on top of the sausage before rolling.

Roll and Shape

  1. Roll each piece inward toward the center, encasing the sausage in dough. The ends will overlap to form a neat ring. Press lightly to keep everything in place.

Brush with Egg Wash and Add Toppings

  1. Brush the tops of the rolls with the beaten egg. Sprinkle sesame seeds and poppy seeds on top if desired. This gives the rolls a pretty, bakery-style finish.

Bake the Wreath

  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 18 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and puffed.

Make the Honey Mustard Center

  1. While the wreath bakes, whisk together the mayo, yellow and Dijon mustards, honey, apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Adjust sweetness or tanginess to taste.

Garnish and Serve

  1. Once the wreath is out of the oven, sprinkle chopped parsley on top for a fresh pop of color. Place a ramekin or small bowl of the honey mustard sauce in the center and serve immediately.
  2. This is a dish meant to be enjoyed hot from the oven. You’ll love how the flaky crescent dough contrasts with the juicy sausage, while the honey mustard brings a creamy tang that ties everything together.
