Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (8 oz) tube crescent roll dough
- 8 regular-sized hot dogs (4–5 oz each)
- Yellow mustard for eyes
- Optional: cheese slices or shredded cheese
- Optional: poppy seeds or black sesame seeds for eyes
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean surface and press seams together to form one large rectangle. Slice the dough into thin strips about 1/4 inch wide.
- Wrap each hot dog with the dough strips diagonally, leaving small gaps to resemble mummy bandages. Optionally, tuck a slice of cheese inside before wrapping.
- Place wrapped hot dogs evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet. Optionally brush dough lightly with melted butter for extra crispiness.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until the dough is golden brown and flaky.
- Remove from oven and use a small spoon or toothpick to place two small dots of mustard near the top center of each hot dog for eyes.
- Optional: bake for an additional 2 minutes to warm the mustard slightly.
- Serve warm and enjoy.
Notes
Use cold dough for easier handling. Slice dough into thin strips for best crispiness. Do not wrap dough too tightly to allow even cooking. Use a toothpick to place mustard eyes precisely. Tent with foil if dough browns too quickly. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in oven to maintain crispiness. Avoid microwaving.
