Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 hot dogs
  • Mustard or ketchup, for eyes
  • Everything bagel seasoning optional
  • Poppy seeds optional

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Pizza cutter or knife
  • Small bowl
  • Pastry brush or toothpick
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean surface. If you have the perforated crescent sheets, press the seams together to form one large rectangle.
  3. Using a pizza cutter or knife, slice the dough into thin strips, about ½ inch wide.
  4. Take one hot dog and begin wrapping it with the crescent dough strips. Leave a small space near the top of the hot dog unwrapped for the eyes.
  5. Place the wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Once the mummies are out of the oven and slightly cooled, dip a toothpick or pastry brush into a small amount of mustard or ketchup and carefully dot two small eyes onto the unwrapped portion of each hot dog.
  8. Let the Crescent Mummy Dogs cool slightly before serving. Best enjoyed warm.

Notes

Don't overcrowd the pan for even baking. Ensure hot dogs are not too cold before wrapping. For even browning, rotate the baking sheet halfway through baking. If dough is too sticky, lightly dust your work surface with flour. For goofier eyes, place them slightly off-center. To make in advance, wrap the hot dogs and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Add eyes after baking. Reheat baked mummies in a low oven (300°F/150°C). Try stuffing with cheese or jalapeño cream cheese for variations. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning or poppy seeds before baking for added flavor.
