1 tube crescent dough sheet make sure it is not pre-perforated to make actual crescents
4 links of pre-cooked sausage such as bratwurst chicken apple, etc.
1 egg
1 tablespoon beer or milk optional, for the egg wash you can use water instead
½ tablespoon caraway seeds or poppy seeds or everything seasoning etc.

Preheat the oven to 375 F (350 F if your oven tends to be stronger). Lay the crescent dough sheet flat onto a cutting board.
Place a sausage link in the center of each of the four quadrants of the dough and gently cut the dough into four (see picture image grid above). Roll the sausage links in the dough, leaving the seam underneath. Cut into bite sized pieces (about 6 per sausage link).
Transfer the pieces onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Beat the egg with a tablespoon of water or milk or beer. Brush over each dough wrapped piece. Sprinkle with your choice of spice.
Bake for 15-17 minutes or until the dough is nicely browned and puffy.

To serve choose a dipping sauce in keeping with the type of sausage you used. Beer cheese never fails as an option.
