Ingredients
Scale
Hot Dogs
- 10 hot dogs
Dough
- 1 8-ounce package crescent dough
Optional for decoration
- Mustard (for eyes)
- Ketchup (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350º F (175º C) to prepare for baking the mummy hot dogs.
- Prepare the dough: Unwrap the crescent dough and lay it out flat on a clean cutting board. Smooth out any perforations by gently pressing with your fingers. Using a pizza cutter, slice the dough into strips approximately 1/4 inch wide along the shorter side.
- Wrap the hot dogs: Take one hot dog at a time and wrap it with 3 to 4 strips of crescent dough, leaving some space to create a ‘face’ for the mummy. Allow some dough strips to hang loosely, mimicking mummy bandages for a spooky look.
- Arrange on baking sheet: Place the wrapped hot dogs on an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them at least one inch apart to ensure even baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 14 to 16 minutes until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Add eyes and serve: Once baked, use mustard to draw eyes on each mummy. Serve warm with ketchup and mustard on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Make sure not to wrap the dough too tightly to allow it to expand while baking.
- Feel free to use mini hot dogs or cocktail sausages for bite-sized mummy snacks.
- Use a food-safe marker if mustard is not preferred for drawing eyes.
- For extra flavor, you can sprinkle a little garlic powder or paprika on the dough before baking.
- These can be prepared ahead and refrigerated before baking to save time during parties.
