Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces hot dogs Juicy and salty, the base for the mummies
  • 1 can crescent roll dough Pre-cut dough for easy wrapping
  • 2 tbsp ketchup For dipping and eyes
  • 2 tbsp mustard Optional for eyes and dipping
  • small black sesame seeds or peppercorns For tiny 'eyes'
  • 1 egg egg Optional for egg wash to give a glossy finish

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Knife
  • Pastry brush

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Lay the crescent roll dough on a clean surface and gently unroll it; cut the dough into strips about 1/4 inch wide.
  3. Using a knife, make shallow slices halfway down each hot dog, creating a wrapped effect that looks like bandages.
  4. Wrap strips of the crescent dough around each hot dog, leaving small gaps for the eyes to peek through.
  5. If desired, lightly brush the wrapped hot dogs with beaten egg using a pastry brush for a shiny finish.
  6. Place the wrapped hot dogs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until the dough is golden brown and crispy.
  8. While baking, prepare the 'eyes' by placing small dots of ketchup or mustard on each hot dog for the pupils.
  9. Once out of the oven, carefully place tiny black sesame seeds or peppercorns on the ketchup or mustard dots to complete the spooky eyes.
  10. Serve the mummy hot dogs warm with your favorite dipping sauces and enjoy their playful, crispy texture.

Notes

For a shiny finish, brush with an egg wash before baking. Be sure to watch the baking time to prevent over-browning. Use a small dab of mustard or ketchup to attach the eyes securely.
