🔪 How To Make Halloween Hot Dogs Mummy
- Step 1: 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 2: 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 3: Wrap the dough strips around each hot dog, creating mummy-like bandages. Leave a gap at the top for the face.
- Step 4: Repeat this process for all the hot dogs.
- Step 5: Place the wrapped hot dogs on a baking sheet. Brush with egg wash to make them golden brown, then bake for 15 minutes.
- Step 6: 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!
👩🍳 Expert Tips
- Freeze Dough for 5 Minutes: Chilling the dough makes it easier to cut and handle.
- Add Cheese: Wrap a slice of cheese around the hot dog before adding the dough for extra gooey goodness.
- Use Parchment Paper: Line the baking sheet to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Crispier Finish: Sprinkle a little garlic or onion powder on the egg wash for extra flavor and crunch.
