Fakeaway Corn Dogs – Serves 6<\/h4>

\"\"Who loves corn dogs? I do and my boys do, too.<\/p>

Ingredients<\/h4>

400g (14oz) pre-rolled pizza dough
6x frankfurters
200\u2013250g (7\u20139oz) mozzarella or Cheddar cheese, grated

1. Preheat the oven to 180\u00b0C (400\u00b0F), Gas Mark 6.<\/p>

2. Unroll the pizza dough on a work surface.<\/p>

3. Place the frankfurters on top, then cut the dough into even rectangles around them.<\/p>

4. Sprinkle over plenty of cheese, then fold in the ends of the dough rectangles and use your hands to roll up the frankfurters in the dough to fully enclose them.<\/p>

5. Insert a skewer halfway up through each frankfurter. Season the beaten eggs with salt, pepper and the sugar and place in a shallow bowl.<\/p>

6. Dip each corn dog into the egg, then into the breadcrumbs to coat all over.<\/p>

7. Place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper and cook in the oven for about 20 minutes, until golden.<\/p>
