Ingredients
Scale
- 8 hot dogs (standard size; beef, turkey, or chicken)
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough (e.g., Pillsbury)
- Yellow mustard (for eyes; Dijon works in a pinch)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll crescent roll dough and separate along perforated lines into 8 triangles.
- Cut each triangle lengthwise into 3-4 thin strips (about 1/4 to 1/2 inch wide).
- Wrap each hot dog with 2-3 dough strips at a slight angle, overlapping slightly. Leave a small gap near the top for eyes. Tuck ends under the hot dog.
- Place wrapped hot dogs on prepared baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until dough is golden brown and puffed.
- Let cool for 2-3 minutes.
- Pour a small amount of mustard into a bowl. Dip a toothpick into mustard and dot two small eyes onto each mummy.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
For best results, slightly stretch dough strips before wrapping. Don’t overwrap—2-3 strips per hot dog is ideal. Let mummies cool briefly before adding mustard eyes to prevent smearing. Can prep wrapped hot dogs up to 4 hours ahead and refrigerate; add 2-3 minutes to baking time.
