Ingredients
- 6 Hot dogs
- 1 package Crescent Roll Dough
- Candy eyes (optional)
- Ketchup or mustard (for decorating)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) to prepare for baking the mummy dogs.
- Prepare Dough: Open your crescent roll package and unroll the dough. Press along the perforations to seal the dough into one sheet, then cut it into 1/4 inch wide strips to use as the mummy bandages.
- Wrap Hot Dogs: Stretch and wrap the dough strips around each hot dog, overlapping and criss-crossing to mimic mummy bandages. Leave some gaps so the hot dog peeks through for a spooky effect.
- Bake: Place the wrapped hot dogs on a baking sheet and bake them in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the hot dogs are heated through.
- Add Eyes: Remove the mummy dogs from the oven and let cool slightly. Attach candy eyes using a small dot of ketchup or mustard as adhesive, adding two eyes per mummy dog. Alternatively, draw eyes directly on the dough using ketchup or mustard if candy eyes aren’t available.
Notes
- If candy eyes are not available, you can create eyes by placing small dots of ketchup or mustard on the mummy dogs where the eyes would go.
- Stretching the dough slightly helps achieve the bandage effect and prevents gaps from tearing.
- Use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Watch closely in the last few minutes of baking to avoid over-browning the dough.
