Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 hotdogs
- 1 package crescent roll dough
Condiments and Decorations:
- 2 tablespoons mustard
Optional Serving Sauce:
- 1/2 cup ketchup (for dipping)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 375F (190C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Carefully unroll the crescent dough and slice into slender, bandage-like strips approximately 1/4 inch wide.
- Gently drape the dough strips around each hotdog in a slightly irregular, crisscrossing pattern, ensuring some of the hotdog remains visible to mimic a mummy’s wrapped appearance.
- Position the wrapped hotdogs on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly to allow proper heat circulation.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until the dough turns a golden, crispy brown and looks perfectly mummified.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes to prevent burning.
- Using mustard, delicately dot two small eyes on each mummy hotdog to create a playful, spooky face.
- Serve immediately with ketchup on the side for a festive Halloween-themed treat.
Notes
- Experiment with different types of hotdogs like turkey, veggie, or chicken to suit various dietary preferences.
- Create a gluten-free version by using gluten-free crescent roll dough or wrapping the hotdogs in thin slices of cheese or bacon.
- Enhance the spookiness by cutting the dough strips slightly uneven to mimic ragged mummy bandages.
- For a healthier twist, use whole wheat dough and add a sprinkle of herbs or nutritional yeast for extra flavor.
