Scale
Ingredients
- 8 hot dogs (1 package)
- 8 ounces refrigerated crescent roll dough (use the sheets if you can find them)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare it for baking the mummy dogs.
- Prepare the Crescent Dough: Open the refrigerated crescent roll dough and unroll it. If using crescent sheets, lay them flat on a clean surface.
- Cut Dough into Strips: Using a knife or pizza cutter, slice the dough into thin strips approximately 1/2 inch wide to mimic mummy bandages.
- Wrap Hot Dogs: Take a hot dog and tightly wrap the dough strips around it, leaving small gaps to create the mummy appearance.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the wrapped hot dogs seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a non-stick surface.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and fully cooked.
- Cool and Serve: Let the mummy dogs cool for a few minutes before serving. Optionally, add eyes with mustard or ketchup for extra decoration.
Notes
- Use refrigerated crescent dough sheets for easier cutting and wrapping.
- For added flavor, brush the dough strips with a little melted butter or garlic butter before baking.
- To make eyes, use small dots of mustard, ketchup, or edible markers after baking.
- These are best served warm but can be reheated in the oven for a few minutes if needed.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute with gluten-free dough or wraps.
