Ingredients
Scale
- 8 hot dogs (regular or mini size, all-beef recommended)
- 1 (8 oz / 227 g) can of crescent roll dough (Pillsbury original recommended)
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard (for the eyes)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted (optional, for brushing)
- Optional extras: sesame seeds, ketchup or spicy mustard for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into pre-scored triangles. Slice each triangle into thin strips about 1/4 inch wide.
- Prepare the hot dogs by cutting in half for mini mummies or leaving whole. Pat dry if needed.
- Wrap the hot dogs loosely with dough strips lengthwise, leaving gaps for the mummy bandage look, covering about 70-80%.
- Place wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet with space between each.
- Brush the mummies lightly with melted butter for a golden, crispy finish (optional).
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until dough is puffed and golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 3-5 minutes.
- Dot two small mustard eyes on each mummy using a small spoon or toothpick.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.
Notes
Do not wrap dough too tightly to allow puffing and steam escape. Use room temperature dough for easier handling. Add mustard eyes after baking to prevent running. Brushing with butter enhances crispiness and color. Can prep ahead by wrapping and refrigerating up to 4 hours before baking.
