Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 package hotdogs
- 1 can crescent roll dough
Decoration Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons mustard
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
Accessory Ingredients:
- 1 pack candy eyes (optional)
- 1 spray cooking spray
- 1 sheet parchment paper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper for a clean cooking surface.
- Carefully unroll the crescent roll dough and slice into delicate, thin strips approximately ¼ inch wide, ensuring uniform width for consistent wrapping.
- Gently encase each hotdog with the dough strips, strategically creating overlapping bandage-like patterns that mimic a mummy’s wrapped appearance, intentionally leaving small exposed sections for the “face.”
- Optional: Whisk the egg and delicately brush a light coating over the dough to enhance golden browning during baking.
- Arrange the wrapped hotdogs on the prepared baking sheet, maintaining slight separation between each mummy creation.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until the dough transforms into a rich golden brown and achieves complete cooking throughout.
- Once removed from the oven, allow a brief cooling period to prevent burning, then playfully position candy eyeballs or olive slice “eyes” on the exposed hotdog sections.
- Serve immediately alongside ketchup and mustard for a festive and delicious Halloween-themed treat that will delight guests of all ages.
Notes
- Choose thinner dough strips for a more detailed mummy-like wrapping effect, ensuring the strips look like authentic bandages.
- Keep small gaps consistent while wrapping to create a realistic mummy appearance that looks intentional and playful.
- Consider using whole wheat crescent roll dough for a healthier alternative that still maintains the fun Halloween spirit.
- Try different mustard or hot sauce for dipping to add extra flavor and make the dish more exciting for older kids and adults.
