Ingredients
Scale
- 8 regular-sized beef or pork hot dogs
- 1 can (8 oz / 226 g) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard (for eyes)
- Optional: 1 tablespoon melted butter (for brushing)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll the crescent dough onto a clean surface. Slice the dough into thin strips about 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) wide using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
- Pat the hot dogs dry with paper towels to help the dough stick better and prevent sogginess.
- Wrap each hot dog loosely with the dough strips in a spiral, leaving small gaps to create a mummy effect and a small uncovered section near one end for the face.
- Place the wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- Optional: Brush each mummy with melted butter for extra golden color and crispness.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the dough is golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes.
- Use a squeeze bottle or piping bag to add two small dots of mustard on the exposed face area for eyes.
- Serve warm and enjoy.
Notes
Do not wrap the dough too tightly to allow it to crisp properly. Use a squeeze bottle with a fine tip for mustard eyes to prevent running. If dough browns too quickly, tent with foil halfway through baking. Can be prepared ahead by wrapping hot dogs and refrigerating before baking. For gluten-free, use gluten-free crescent dough alternatives.
