Ingredients
Scale
- 8 hot dogs (standard size, about 1.6 oz each)
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- Yellow mustard (for the eyes)
- Optional: Cooking spray or olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean cutting board. Press the perforations together gently with your fingers to seal them into a solid sheet.
- Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough lengthwise into thin strips about 1/4 to 1/2 inch wide.
- Take one hot dog and start wrapping a strip of dough around it, leaving a small gap near the top for the eyes. Wrap slightly loosely, overlapping the strips slightly. Leave about a 1-inch section at the top uncovered for the mummy’s face. Tuck the end of the dough strip underneath the hot dog to secure it.
- Arrange the wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about an inch of space between each one.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the dough is golden brown and puffed, and the hot dogs are heated through.
- Remove from the oven and let the mummy dogs cool on the pan for about 2-3 minutes.
- While cooling, pour a small amount of yellow mustard into a small bowl. Dip the tip of a toothpick into the mustard and dot two small eyes onto the uncovered section of each hot dog.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
For best results, don’t wrap the dough too tightly—it will puff up as it bakes. Let the mummy dogs cool for 2-3 minutes before adding mustard eyes so the mustard doesn’t slide off. You can prep them ahead by wrapping the hot dogs with dough strips and refrigerating for up to 4 hours before baking. For an air fryer version, cook at 350°F (175°C) for 6-8 minutes.
