Ingredients
Scale
- 8 hot dogs (regular size)
- 1 can (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- Mustard for the eyes (yellow mustard recommended)
- Optional: cooking spray or butter for greasing
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and lightly spray with cooking oil if using foil.
- Unroll the crescent dough onto a clean cutting board. Press the seams together gently to form one large rectangle.
- Cut the dough into thin strips, about ¼ to ½ inch wide, using a sharp knife or pizza cutter. You should get 12 to 15 strips.
- Wrap each hot dog with 2 to 3 strips of dough at a slight angle, leaving small gaps to resemble a mummy. Leave space near the top for the eyes. Do not wrap too tightly.
- Place the wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about an inch between each.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and puffed.
- Let cool for 2 to 3 minutes on the baking sheet before adding the eyes.
- Using a squeeze bottle or toothpick, dab two small dots of mustard on each mummy’s head for eyes.
Notes
For best results, use regular-sized hot dogs (not jumbo). Let the mummy dogs cool slightly before adding mustard eyes to prevent melting. You can wrap the hot dogs up to 4 hours ahead and refrigerate until ready to bake.
