Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Prepare the dough by unrolling it onto a lightly floured surface.
- Cut the dough into long, thin strips about 1/4 inch wide; these will become the mummy wrappings.
- Wrap each hot dog with strips of dough, overlapping slightly and leaving a small space at one end for the face. Turn the wrapped hot dogs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the dough-wrapped hot dogs with the beaten egg wash to help them turn golden and shiny during baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the dough is puffed, golden, and crispy.
- Remove from oven and let sit for a minute, then carefully place tiny edible eyes on the face area of each mummy with a small spoon or icing tip to create spooky eyes.
- Serve the Halloween Mummy Hot Dogs warm, enjoying their crispy exterior and fun, creepy appearance.
Notes
For extra creepiness, add more eyes or use food-safe markers to draw fun faces. Be sure to watch closely as they bake to prevent over-browning.
