Ingredients
- 8 hot dogs
- 1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough
- 16 candy eyes
- tomato soup of your choice
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a flat surface. Use a pizza cutter to slice the dough into 1/4-inch wide strips. You should have enough strips to wrap around each hot dog.
- Wrap the Hot Dogs: Take one hot dog and start wrapping it with the dough strips, leaving small gaps in the wrapping to create the "mummy" effect. Be sure to leave a small space at one end of the hot dog to place the candy eyes after baking. Repeat this process for all 8 hot dogs.
- Bake the Hot Dogs: Place the wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet. Bake them in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Add the Candy Eyes: Remove the hot dogs from the oven and let them cool for about a minute. Then, carefully place two candy eyes in the space you left at the top of each hot dog.
Notes
1. Can I use a different type of dough for the mummy hot dogs
Yes! You can use puff pastry or biscuit dough if you prefer. Just make sure to adjust the baking time accordingly, as these may take longer to cook than crescent roll dough.
2. Can I make these mummy hot dogs ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare and wrap the hot dogs in dough, then store them in the refrigerator until you're ready to bake. Bake them just before serving for the best texture.
3. What can I use if I don't have candy eyes?
If you don't have candy eyes, you can use small dots of mustard, ketchup, or even tiny pieces of black olives to create the eyes.
4. Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
Yes, you can use gluten-free hot dogs and gluten-free dough to make this recipe suitable for a gluten-free diet.
5. How do I store leftover mummy hot dogs?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
6. Can I use different types of hot dogs?
Definitely! You can use beef, turkey, chicken, or even veggie hot dogs. Just pick your favorite type or whatever suits your dietary preferences.
7. What sides go well with mummy hot dogs?
These pair well with tomato "blood" soup, fries, a salad, or even a simple veggie platter for a balanced meal.
8. Can I freeze mummy hot dogs?
Yes, you can freeze them before baking. Wrap the hot dogs in dough, place them on a baking sheet to freeze, then transfer to a freezer-safe container. Bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
9. Can kids help with this recipe?
Definitely! Kids can help wrap the hot dogs with dough and place the candy eyes, making this a fun and family-friendly activity.
