Pigs in a Pretzel Blanket

One more last minute appetizer for your SUPER BOWL party today:
(makes 12)

2 large egg yolks
1 T. water
1 sheet frozen puff pastry (one 14 oz. package or half a 17.3 oz.), thawed
4 pre-cooked pork or chicken* sausages (such as Andouille or kielbasa; about 1 lb.), halved
     lengthwise
1/2 t. baking soda
Kosher salt and poppy seeds for sprinkling
Whole grain Dijon mustard for serving

Preheat oven to 400. Mix yolks and water in a small bowl until smooth. Gently roll out puff pastry on a lightly floured surface just to press out any creases; brush with egg wash. Cut into 8 long strips. Lightly dust sausages with flour. Working one at a time, wrap pastry around sausage, and egg wash side facing in. If pastry becomes to soft, chill until firm before continuing. Place rolled-up sausages on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cut side down. Mix baking soda into remaining egg wash, and brush over pastry (this will give it a sheen); sprinkle with salt and poppy seeds. Chill 15 mins. Bake until pastry is puffed and golden brown, 25-30 mins. Let cool. Slice into bite size portions and serve with mustard.
