Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 8 pieces beef hot dogs (or turkey hot dogs), cut in half Cut in half crosswise to make 16 short pieces.
  • 16 oz 2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough (or pizza dough) Use pizza dough for a thicker crust.
  • 1 large egg, beaten For egg wash to give a golden finish.
  • 32 pieces mini candy eyes (edible, for decorating) Alternatively, use small dots of yellow mustard.
For Serving
  • to taste yellow mustard For dipping.
  • to taste ketchup For dipping.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F. While it heats up, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pinch the perforated seams together to create solid rectangles.
  3. Slice the dough into thin strips about 1/4-inch wide.
Assembling
  1. Pat each hot dog piece dry with a paper towel. Take 2 to 3 dough strips and wrap them around each hot dog in a crisscross pattern, leaving a small gap at the end for the mummy's face.
  2. Pinch the ends of the dough strips to keep them secure.
  3. Place each wrapped hot dog seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 1 inch apart.
  4. Brush the dough lightly with the beaten egg wash for a glossy finish.
Cooking
  1. Bake the hot dog mummies at 375°F for about 12 to 15 minutes, until the dough is puffed and golden brown.
  2. Remove from the oven and let cool for 3 to 4 minutes.
  3. While still warm, use a dab of mustard or ketchup to attach two candy eyes to each mummy. Alternatively, dot mustard directly for a savory option.

Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 6 to 8 minutes or 30 seconds to 1 minute in the microwave.
