Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 pieces hot dogs standard size
  • 1 roll canned crescent roll dough or pre-made pizza dough
  • 1 egg egg wash beaten, for brushing
  • Optional for decoration small candies or black edible markers for eyes

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Cooking scissors or knife

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Unroll the crescent dough onto a clean surface and cut it into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch wide, using sharp scissors or a knife. These strips will become the mummy 'bandages.'
  3. Place each hot dog on the baking sheet. Use a small spoon or your fingers to slightly flatten the hot dogs if needed, so the dough can wrap evenly around them.
  4. Wrap the strips of dough around each hot dog, overlapping slightly and leaving a small space at the top for the 'face.' Press the ends of the dough gently to seal as you go, creating a bandaged mummy appearance.
  5. Once wrapped, brush each mummy with the beaten egg wash. This will give the dough a shiny, golden finish as it bakes.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the dough turns golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
  7. Remove the mummies from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. If desired, add small candies or use edible markers to draw eyes on the exposed hot dog ends to give your mummies spooky faces.
  8. Serve your Mummy Hot Dogs warm, arranged on a platter, for a fun and spooky treat that’s perfect for Halloween gatherings.
