Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 hotdogs
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (or puff pastry)
Binding/Wash Ingredient:
- 1 large egg (for egg wash, optional)
Decorative Ingredients:
- Mustard or ketchup (for decoration)
- Candy eyes (optional)
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 375F (190C) and cover a baking sheet with parchment paper for non-stick preparation.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and transform the perforated sections into 4 solid rectangular pieces by pressing seams together carefully.
- Slice each rectangular section into ultra-thin strips approximately 1/4 inch wide using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
- Transform each hotdog into a mummy by wrapping dough strips around the entire surface, intentionally creating small exposed sections for the “face” area.
- Gently stretch dough strips while wrapping to create realistic, slightly overlapping bandage-like textures.
- Optional: Apply a delicate egg wash over the wrapped dough to enhance golden coloration during baking.
- Position wrapped hotdog mummies onto prepared baking sheet, ensuring slight separation between each piece.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until dough turns rich golden brown and appears crispy around edges.
- Remove from oven and allow 2-3 minutes cooling time to prevent burning.
- Decorate mummy faces using mustard dots for eyes or attach pre-made candy eyes for playful Halloween character.
- Serve immediately while warm, accompanied by additional ketchup or mustard for dipping pleasure.
Notes
- Keep crescent roll dough chilled until ready to use for easier handling and clean wrapping.
- Create intentional gaps between dough strips to mimic authentic mummy bandage appearance, ensuring even baking and visual appeal.
- For kid-friendly versions, use edible candy eyes or small dots of mustard/ketchup to create playful mummy faces without complicated decorating skills.
- Substitute traditional hotdogs with vegetarian sausages or plant-based alternatives for dietary preferences while maintaining the same festive Halloween presentation.
