Ingredients
Scale
- 8 hot dogs (beef, pork, turkey, or plant-based, skinless recommended)
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (about 8 oz / 227 g)
- Mustard or ketchup for eyes
- Optional: thin slices or shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
- Cooking spray or butter for greasing the baking sheet
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with cooking spray or butter.
- Open the can of crescent dough and unroll onto a clean surface. Slice the dough lengthwise into thin strips about 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) wide.
- If using cheese, place a thin slice or sprinkle shredded cheese on each hot dog before wrapping.
- Wrap each hot dog with the dough strips, leaving small gaps to mimic mummy bandages and covering most of the hot dog length but leaving ends exposed.
- Place wrapped hot dogs seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes until the crescent dough is golden brown and crispy, watching closely to avoid burning.
- Remove from oven and, while still warm, add small dots of mustard or ketchup to create eyes using a toothpick or small spoon.
- Let cool slightly for a couple of minutes before serving.
Notes
Cut hot dogs into smaller pieces for kid-sized mummies. Use puff pastry as an alternative to crescent rolls for flakier texture. Add cheese inside for extra flavor. Add mustard or ketchup eyes while warm for better adhesion. Avoid overcrowding the pan for crispiness. Baking on the middle rack gives best results. Dough strips should be thin (about 1/4 inch) for best crispiness.
