Ingredient Notes and Substitutions
Hot Dogs – Use any kind of hotdogs you enjoy! You could also use sausage or bratwurst as well, just make sure to cook them if they’re raw before adding the dough and baking.
Crescent Dough – If you don’t like crescent dough, any kind of pizza dough works with this recipe too.
Candy Eyes – The candy eyes make these look cute and like they actually have eyes – you don’t have to eat them! But if you’re not a fan you can use a dab of ketchup or mustard, or both!
Mustard – You’ll use this to ‘glue’ the candy eyes onto the dog, you can use ketchup or mayonnaise instead.
How To Make Mummy Hot Dogs
- Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees. Remove the hotdogs from their packaging and pat them down with a paper towel to remove all the moisture. Set these aside
- Pop open your crescent dough and roll it out flat. Using a pizza cutter or a knife, slice the dough into ¼ inch strips. The length of the strips doesn’t really matter.
- Leaving a little space for the eyes, grab a dried hotdog and wrap a strip of dough around the dog to look like a ‘mummy.’ Try not to overlap the dough too much, otherwise it won’t bake through completely.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, then place the mummy dogs on the sheet. Don’t overcrowd the pan, and make sure they’re not touching or the mummies will stick together. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the dough reaches a golden brown color.
- Using a very small amount of ketchup or mustard, adhere the candy eyes to the hot dog
- Serve while hot!
Recipe Tips and Advice
Storage – These will last in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
Materials – You’ll need a baking sheet, parchment paper and a pizza cutter. (optional)
Make Ahead – If you’re making these for a party, but want them to come out hot for your guests, you can pre-make all the mummy dogs, place them on the baking sheet, wrap the tray tightly with plastic wrap and keep them in the fridge until you’re ready to pop them in the oven!
No, most hotdogs that you can buy at the grocery store are precooked. If you use a sausage or other type of raw meat instead, you will need to cook it before wrapping the hotdogs in the dough.
If you’re serving these at a party, you can keep these warm in a covered serving tray or in a crockpot at a low heat, but this may make them a little soggy after a while. Try serving only a handful at a time, and make more as they get eaten or keep them in the oven at a very low heat
