How To Make Halloween Hot Dogs Mummy
Step One: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Unroll the crescent roll dough and flatten it evenly. (You can use any dough, but a crescent roll works best.)
Step Two: Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into long strips, top to bottom. You'll need about two strips for each hot dog.
Step Three: Wrap the dough strips around each hot dog, creating mummy-like bandages. Leave a gap at the top for the face.
Step Four: Repeat this process for all the hot dogs.
Step Five: Place the wrapped hot dogs on a baking sheet. Brush with egg wash to make them golden brown, then bake for 15 minutes.
Step Six: Once baked, remove from the oven. Add candy eyes using a tiny dot of mustard or ketchup. Serve and enjoy your spooky Halloween Mummy Hot Dogs!
