Ingredients
Scale
- 8 standard-size hot dogs (all-beef recommended)
- 2 cans crescent roll dough (8 rolls each, Pillsbury recommended)
- Yellow mustard (for mummy faces)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (optional, for brushing)
- Sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough carefully. Separate the dough along the perforated lines to get individual triangles (8 per can).
- Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice each triangle lengthwise into 3-4 thin strips, about 1/2-inch wide.
- Take one hot dog and start wrapping a dough strip around it, leaving a small gap near the top for the mummy’s face. Overlap the strips slightly as you go. Press the ends gently to seal. Repeat with remaining hot dogs and dough strips.
- Place the wrapped hot dogs about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Optional: Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and brush it over the tops of the dough for a golden color.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the dough is golden brown and puffed, and the hot dogs are heated through.
- Let the mummy hot dogs cool for 2-3 minutes on the baking sheet. Using a toothpick or the tip of a knife, dot on two small eyes with yellow mustard.
- Serve immediately. These are best eaten warm.
Notes
Keep the dough cold for easier handling. Don’t over-wrap the hot dogs; 2-3 strips per hot dog is plenty. Let them cool slightly before adding mustard eyes to prevent melting. You can wrap the hot dogs up to 4 hours ahead and refrigerate until baking. For freezing, freeze unbaked wrapped hot dogs for up to 1 month and bake from frozen, adding 2-3 minutes to baking time.
