Ingredients

☐ 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash, optional for a golden finish)
Optional for Serving
☐ Ketchup
☐ Mustard
☐ Honey mustard
☐ BBQ sauce
Ingredients
Directions
● Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
● Unroll the crescent dough and pinch together any perforated seams. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the dough into thin strips.
● Wrap each hot dog with the dough strips, leaving a small gap near the top for the mummy's face. Overlap some of the strips to create a fun "wrapped" mummy look.
● Place the wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
● If desired, brush the dough lightly with the beaten egg for a golden, shiny finish.
● Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crescent dough is puffed and golden brown.
● Remove from the oven and let the mummy hot dogs cool for 2–3 minutes.
● Attach two candy eyes in the opening near the top using a small dot of ketchup or mustard as edible "glue."
● Serve warm with ketchup, mustard, honey mustard, or your favorite dipping sauce.

RECIPE TIPS
-
For the cutest mummy hot dogs, don't worry about wrapping the dough perfectly. Slightly uneven strips and overlapping layers make them look more like real mummy bandages and add to the fun Halloween theme.
-
Wait until the hot dogs have cooled for a couple of minutes before adding the candy eyes. This helps them stay in place without melting, giving your mummies the perfect spooky expression.
🥶 STORAGE
• Refrigerator: Store leftover Mummy Hot Dogs in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Reheating: Reheat in a 350°F oven or air fryer for 5–7 minutes until warmed through and the crescent dough is crisp again. Microwave for 20–30 seconds if you're short on time, though the dough will be softer.
• Make Ahead: Wrap the hot dogs in the crescent dough a few hours ahead of time and refrigerate them unbaked. Bake just before serving, then add the candy eyes after they come out of the oven.
• Freezing: For the best texture, Mummy Hot Dogs are best enjoyed fresh. If needed, freeze the baked hot dogs (without the candy eyes) in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven and add fresh candy eyes before serving.
