Ingredients
- 1 can crescent roll dough
- 8 hot dogs
- Mustard or ketchup for eyes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles. If using a perforated sheet, carefully press the perforations together to create a solid piece of dough.
- Pat the hot dogs dry with paper towels to ensure the dough adheres properly. This helps prevent soggy wrapping.
- Cut each crescent roll triangle into thin strips, approximately 1/4 to 1/2 inch wide. These will create the "bandage" effect for the mummy.
- Wrap each hot dog with the dough strips, leaving a small gap near the top for the "face". Stretch and wrap the strips in different directions to create a mummy-like appearance.
- Place the wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each mummy.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the hot dogs are heated through.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes. The dough will continue to crisp slightly during cooling.
- Using mustard or ketchup, carefully create two small dots for eyes on each mummy hot dog.
- Serve warm and enjoy your spooky Crescent Mummy Hot Dogs!
Tips
- Pat your hot dogs completely dry before wrapping to ensure the crescent dough sticks perfectly and creates crisp "bandages"
- Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to create uniform, thin dough strips for the most authentic mummy wrapping effect
- Leave a small gap near the top of the hot dog for the "face" area where you'll add mustard or ketchup eyes
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet - give each mummy enough space to bake evenly and become golden brown
- For extra flavor, consider brushing the dough strips with a light egg wash before baking to achieve a shinier, more golden finish
- Serve immediately after cooling to enjoy the perfect crisp texture of the crescent dough
