Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 hotdogs
- 1 package crescent roll dough
Decoration Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons mustard or ketchup (for eyes)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Carefully unroll the crescent dough on a clean surface and slice into thin, uniform strips using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
- Gently stretch each dough strip, wrapping it around the hotdog in a random, crisscross pattern to create a mummy-like appearance, ensuring some spaces remain exposed for the “face”.
- Position the wrapped hotdogs on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart to allow even heat circulation.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, watching for a golden-brown color and crispy dough texture.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes to prevent burning.
- Use mustard or ketchup to create small dot “eyes” on the exposed hotdog areas, giving the mummy a playful, spooky appearance.
- Transfer to a serving platter and enjoy immediately while warm and crispy.
Notes
- Dough Stretching Technique: Gently pull crescent dough strips to create a mummy-like bandage effect without tearing the dough.
- Precise Wrapping Method: Slightly overlap dough strips to ensure complete coverage while leaving a strategic opening for the “face” area.
- Alternative Protein Options: Swap traditional hotdogs with vegetarian sausages or plant-based alternatives for dietary preferences.
- Quick Decoration Hack: Use small dots of mustard or ketchup strategically to create spooky, expressive mummy eyes that will delight kids and adults alike.
