Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use vegan alternatives?
Yes! Vegan hot dogs and dairy-free cheeses work well. Look for melt-friendly options like almond or soy-based mozzarella.
What if I don’t have an air fryer?
No problem. Bake hot dogs at 400°F for 8–10 minutes. Assemble in buns and broil for 3–5 minutes until cheese melts.
Are they gluten-free?
They can be. Use gluten-free hot dog buns or wraps and check all ingredients for gluten content.
What if my kids don’t like messy food?
Wrap each Pizza Dog in parchment or foil to contain the mess and make them easier to handle.
Can I scale this recipe up for a party?
Absolutely. Just prepare in batches and keep the finished dogs warm in a low oven while the others cook.
