Ingredients
Scale
- 8 standard-sized hot dogs (all-beef recommended)
- 1 can (8 ounces) crescent roll dough (e.g., Pillsbury)
- Yellow mustard (for eyes)
- Candy eyes (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Open the can of crescent rolls and carefully unroll the dough. If using perforated triangles, press the seams together to form a single sheet. If using seamless sheets, proceed directly.
- Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough lengthwise into thin strips, about ¼ to ½ inch wide (8-10 strips per sheet).
- Take one hot dog and start wrapping a strip of dough around it, slightly overlapping as you go. Leave a small gap at the top (about ½ inch) for the mummy’s face. Do not wrap too tightly.
- Place each wrapped hot dog on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between them.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the crescent dough is golden brown and puffed up, and the hot dogs are heated through.
- Let the mummy hot dogs cool for 2-3 minutes on the baking sheet. Once cool enough to handle, use a toothpick to dab two small dots of yellow mustard on the exposed hot dog for eyes. If using candy eyes, press them gently into the mustard.
- Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
Keep the dough cold for easier handling. Do not overwrap; a single layer with slight overlaps is best. For a shinier finish, brush with egg wash before baking. These are best served warm but can be reheated in the oven or air fryer.
