Welcome To My Kitchen! Let’s Make Spooky Mummy Hot Dogs!
Step 1:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Step 2:
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles. Using a knife, slice each triangle into thin strips, resembling bandages.
Step 3:
Take a hot dog and wrap it with the prepared crescent roll strips, leaving a small gap near the top to create the “mummy’s face”. Continue wrapping until the entire hot dog is covered, slightly overlapping the strips. Place the wrapped hot dog onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining hot dogs.
Step 4:
Once all the hot dogs are wrapped, bake them in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crescent dough is golden brown and cooked through.
Step 5:
Remove the mummy hot dogs from the oven and let them cool slightly. Using a squeeze bottle or a small spoon, add dots of mustard or ketchup onto each mummy to create eyes.
Step 6:
Serve the mummy hot dogs warm, with extra mustard or ketchup for dipping if desired. Enjoy your spooky Halloween treat!

How do I ensure that the dough wraps around the hot dogs evenly without falling off during baking?
To ensure the dough wraps around the hot dogs evenly, it's important to roll out the dough to the appropriate thickness and width. Additionally, gently stretching the dough before wrapping it around the hot dogs can help ensure it adheres properly during baking.
-
How do I prevent the hot dogs from becoming too dry while baking in the oven?
To prevent the hot dogs from becoming dry during baking, consider lightly brushing the dough with a thin layer of oil or egg wash before placing them in the oven. This can help to seal in moisture and prevent the hot dogs from drying out.
-
How do I know when the mummy hot dogs are fully cooked in the oven?
To ensure the mummy hot dogs are fully cooked, it's essential to follow the recommended baking time and temperature. Additionally, checking for a golden-brown color on the dough can be a good indicator, and using a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the hot dogs reaches a safe level (typically 160°F or 71°C) will guarantee they are fully cooked.
