Mummy Dogs
Description
Mummy Dogs combine hot dogs wrapped in crescent roll dough strips stretched and crisscrossed to mimic mummy bandages. The dough is pressed to seal seams before cutting into thin strips, ensuring the wrapping stays together as it bakes. Baking at 375 degrees F for 10-12 minutes produces a golden crust with warmed through hot dogs inside.
The exposed gaps of the hot dog beneath the overlapping dough create a whimsical mummy appearance. Adding candy eyes fixed with ketchup or mustard, or simply dots of condiment, completes the look. The lightly baked crescent dough provides a soft, flaky contrast to the savory, slightly smoky hot dog.
This recipe suits casual snacking or festive gatherings, adding a visual element that’s as enjoyable as the taste. Preparing the dough strips to overlap loosely allows the characteristic mummy effect while keeping the dough from becoming too thick or undercooked.
For eye decorations, if candy eyes are unavailable, create eyes using small dots of ketchup or mustard as an easy alternative.
Ingredients
- 6 hotdog
- 1 package crescent roll dough
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Open your crescent roll package and unroll the dough. Press on the perforations to seal them together.
- Cut the dough into 1/4 inch strips.
- Wrap the pieces of dough around each hot dog creating bandages by stretching the dough slightly and letting it overlap and criss-cross. You don't completely cover the hot dog, leave gaps so it looks like a mummy peeking out from its bandages.
- Place each wrapped hot dog on a baking sheet and then bake for 10-12 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and hot dogs are warmed through.
- Remove from the oven and place a small dot of ketchup or mustard on the back of your candy eyes and add 2 to each mummy dog.
Notes
- If you don't have candy eyes, use small dots of ketchup or mustard to make simple eyes on the mummy dogs.
