Ingredients
Scale
Hot Dogs
- 8 hot dogs (1 package)
Dough
- 8 ounces refrigerated crescent roll dough (use crescent dough sheets if available)
Instructions
- Cut the Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean surface. Press the perforations firmly to seal and create 4 rectangular sheets for easier cutting. Then slice the dough into thin strips about 1/4 inch wide to use for wrapping the hot dogs.
- Prepare the Pan and Dough: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Arrange your dough strips for easy access while wrapping.
- Wrap the Hot Dogs: Take each hot dog and carefully wrap the crescent dough strips around it in a crisscross mummy pattern, leaving some gaps for the ‘eyes’ effect. Place each wrapped hot dog on the prepared baking pan, spacing them evenly.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 13-15 minutes or until the dough is puffed up and lightly golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving to avoid burns.
- Serve Warm: Serve the mummy dogs warm as a spooky appetizer or fun main dish. Optionally, add small dots of mustard or ketchup for eyes to enhance the mummy look.
Notes
- You can use crescent roll dough sheets if available; it makes wrapping easier.
- For added flavor, sprinkle some garlic powder or Italian seasoning on the dough before wrapping.
- Serve with mustard, ketchup, or your favorite dipping sauces for extra taste.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute hot dogs with plant-based sausages.
- Ensure to press the perforations before cutting to prevent the dough from falling apart.
