Ingredients
Scale
Hot Dogs
- 6 hot dogs
Dough
- 1 package crescent roll dough
Decoration
- Candy eyes (12 pieces, 2 per hot dog)
- Ketchup or mustard (for attaching eyes and optional eye dots)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) to ensure it’s ready for baking the mummy dogs.
- Prepare Dough: Open the crescent roll dough package and unroll the dough sheet. Press on the perforations firmly to seal them together into one continuous sheet.
- Cut Dough Strips: Using a knife or pizza cutter, slice the dough into 1/4 inch wide strips for wrapping the hot dogs.
- Wrap Hot Dogs: Take each hot dog and stretch the dough strips slightly before wrapping them around the hot dog in overlapping, criss-cross patterns. Leave spaces uncovered to create a mummy-like appearance with the hot dog peeking through the “bandages.”
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place all the wrapped hot dogs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a non-stick surface to prevent sticking.
- Bake: Bake the wrapped hot dogs in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the dough is golden brown and the hot dogs are heated through.
- Add Candy Eyes: Remove the mummy dogs from the oven and quickly place two candy eyes on each. Use small dots of ketchup or mustard on the back of the candy eyes to make them stick securely.
Notes
- If candy eyes are unavailable, create eyes by placing two small dots of ketchup or mustard directly onto the wrapped hot dogs where the eyes should be.
- For extra crispness, you can lightly brush the wrapped dough with melted butter before baking.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and taste, as the dough can soften over time.
- Customize with your favorite hot dog toppings or dip sauces alongside.
