Ingredients
Scale
- 8 standard-sized hot dogs (beef, pork, turkey, or plant-based)
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard (for eyes)
- 1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water (optional, for egg wash)
- Sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll crescent dough and pinch seams together to form a solid sheet.
- Cut dough lengthwise into thin strips about ¼-inch wide (10-12 strips per can).
- Wrap each hot dog with a strip of dough at a slight angle, leaving a ½-inch gap near the top for the face. Overlap slightly and press end to seal.
- Place wrapped hot dogs 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet.
- Brush with egg wash if desired for a shiny finish.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until dough is golden brown and hot dogs are heated through.
- Let cool 2-3 minutes, then use a toothpick to dab small dots of mustard onto the exposed hot dog area for eyes.
- Serve warm.
Notes
Don’t wrap dough too tightly; leave room for expansion. Use room-temperature dough to prevent cracking. For a shiny finish, brush with egg wash. Mustard eyes are essential for the mummy look.
