Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces hot dogs juicy, salty
  • 1 can crescent roll dough flaky and buttery
  • 1 egg egg for brushing, beaten
  • optional mustard or ketchup for eyes or dipping
  • to taste sesame seeds or bits of olive for eyes or decoration

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Pastry brush
  • Sharp knife

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to keep things tidy.
  2. Unroll the crescent roll dough and cut it into thin strips, about half an inch wide, to create the mummy wrappings.
  3. Place each hot dog on a cutting board and start wrapping it with the dough strips, overlapping slightly and leaving some space for the 'eyes'.
  4. Once wrapped, place each hot dog seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the dough is sealed well to prevent leaks.
  5. Whisk the beaten egg and brush it generously over the dough to give the mummy a shiny, golden finish.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the dough is puffed up and golden brown, filling your kitchen with a warm, baked aroma.
  7. Remove the mummies from the oven and let them cool for about 5 minutes—this helps the dough set and makes them easier to handle.
  8. Using a sharp knife or your fingers, score tiny eyes on each mummy, then add small dots of mustard, ketchup, or bits of olive for a spooky, fun face.
  9. Arrange the finished mummy hot dogs on a platter and serve immediately for a fun, crowd-pleasing snack.

Notes

Ensure dough is sealed tightly around hot dogs to prevent leakage during baking. For extra fun, use different decorations for eyes and faces. You can also try puff pastry for a flakier texture.
