Ingredients
- 8 hot dogs (standard size)
- 1 can (8-count) crescent roll dough
- Mustard (for eyes)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate along the perforated lines to get 8 triangles.
- Cut each triangle lengthwise into 3-4 thin strips, about 1/2 inch wide.
- Wrap one strip of dough around a hot dog, starting at one end and working to the other, leaving a small gap near the top for the face. Repeat with all hot dogs.
- Place wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about an inch of space between them.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the dough is golden brown and puffy.
- Let cool for 2-3 minutes.
- Add two small dots of mustard on each hot dog for eyes.
Notes
Don’t over-wrap the hot dogs; leave space for the face. Use parchment paper for easy cleanup. Let kids help wrap the dough for fun. For cheesy mummies, cut a slit in the hot dog and stuff with cheddar before wrapping. For gluten-free, use gluten-free crescent roll dough. Leftovers keep in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes or in an air fryer at 350°F for 3 minutes. Can be frozen before or after baking.
