Print Recipe

These easy mummy-wrapped Halloween hot dogs are ready in under 20 minutes with only two main ingredients. The trick is wrapping the crescent dough loosely to create actual mummy bandage texture, with little peeks of the hot dog showing through.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 8 hot dogs (standard size)
  • 1 large egg (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)
  • Mustard or ketchup (for eyes)
  • Optional: Everything bagel seasoning
  • Optional: Cheese strips (cheddar or mozzarella)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place a rack in the center position. Line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the crescent dough onto a clean cutting board. If using regular crescent roll dough, press the perforations together gently with your fingers to create one solid rectangle.
  3. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the dough lengthwise into thin strips, about half an inch wide. You should get roughly 8 to 10 strips.
  4. Take one hot dog and place it at one end of a dough strip. Wrap the strip around the hot dog at a slight angle, leaving small gaps between each wrap so you can see the hot dog peeking through. Tuck the end of the dough strip underneath the hot dog to secure it. Repeat with the remaining hot dogs and dough strips.
  5. Arrange the wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about an inch of space between each one.
  6. Beat the egg with one tablespoon of water in a small bowl. Using a pastry brush, gently brush the egg wash over the exposed dough on each mummy.
  7. If using, sprinkle a tiny pinch of everything bagel seasoning over each mummy.
  8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the dough is golden brown and puffed, and the hot dogs are heated through.
  9. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the mummy dogs cool for about 2 to 3 minutes.
  10. Using a toothpick or the tip of a knife, place two small dots of mustard or ketchup on each mummy where the eyes should be.
  11. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Do not overwrap the hot dogs—leave gaps for the mummy effect. Let crescent dough sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before cutting to prevent cracking. If dough tears while wrapping, press it back together with fingers. For best results, serve immediately after adding eyes. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes.
