Ingredients
Scale
- Hot dogs (beef, pork, chicken, or plant-based)
- Refrigerated crescent dough (e.g., Pillsbury crescent dough)
- Pretzel sticks (thin rods or sticks)
- Mustard or ketchup (for mummy eyes)
- 1 egg (optional, for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon water (optional, for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Unroll the refrigerated crescent dough and separate into rectangles by pressing perforations together gently. Slice each rectangle into thin strips about 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) wide.
- Wrap each hot dog loosely with the dough strips, leaving small gaps between strips to create the mummy look. Leave the ends of the hot dog exposed.
- Arrange 2-3 pretzel sticks beside each wrapped hot dog on the baking sheet to resemble bones.
- Optional: Lightly brush the dough strips with the beaten egg wash for a golden finish.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and crispy. Watch closely after 12 minutes to avoid burning.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 2 minutes. Use a toothpick to dot small eyes on each mummy with mustard or ketchup.
- Serve warm with your favorite dips or a side salad.
Notes
Do not wrap dough strips too tightly to keep them crispy. Egg wash is optional but helps achieve a golden finish. Chill dough for 10 minutes if sticky before slicing. Store wrapped hot dogs in fridge up to 24 hours before baking. Reheat leftovers in oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes to regain crispness. Avoid microwaving to prevent soggy dough.
