Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces hot dogs beef or chicken
  • 1 pack crescent roll dough or rolled pizza dough
  • small pieces cheddar cheese cut into tiny triangles for eyes
  • small pieces black olives pitted, sliced for eyes

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Sharp knife
  • Small spoon or tweezers for eyes

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the crescent dough and gently press together the perforations to form a solid sheet.
  3. Slice the dough into strips about 1/2 inch wide; these will be the mummy wrappings.
  4. Place each hot dog on the baking sheet. Take a strip of dough and wrap it loosely around a hot dog, overlapping slightly as you go. Cover about three-quarters of the hot dog lengthwise, leaving one end free.
  5. Repeat the wrapping with remaining hot dogs, ensuring they're all evenly covered with strips of dough.
  6. Place small slices of cheddar cheese on the wrapped hot dogs to serve as eyes, and top each with a small black olive slice for pupil.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and crispy, and the hot dogs are heated through.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before transferring to a serving platter. Enjoy warm, with any additional condiments if desired.

Notes

For a quick fix, you can use shredded cheese and whole black olives instead of slices. Keep an eye on the baking time to prevent over-browning.
