Step 1: Start by patting the hot dogs dry with paper towels, ensuring they are moisture-free. Set them aside for the next steps.
Step 2: Roll out the crescent dough on a clean surface. Use a pizza cutter or a knife to slice the dough into strips, about 1/2 inch wide. The length of the strips doesn’t need to be precise.
Step 3: Take these strips of dough and wrap them creatively around the hot dogs, making them resemble mummy bandages. You can criss-cross them slightly, but be careful not to overlap too much, as this may affect the baking. Leave a small section uncovered to attach the eyes later.
Step 4 (For Air Fryer): Lightly grease the air fryer basket with cooking oil. Arrange a portion of the mummy hot dogs in the basket, ensuring they are not too crowded. You may need to cook them in batches. Air fry the mummies at 350°F for 5 minutes, then carefully loosen them from the basket and air fry for an additional 3 minutes.
Step 4 (For Oven): If you prefer baking in the oven, place all the mummy hot dogs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they have some space between them. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 8-10 minutes, or until they turn golden brown.
Step 5: To give your mummies a quirky and creepy appearance, use a small amount of mustard (or ketchup if you prefer) to attach the candy eyes in the uncovered section of the hot dogs. This adds a whimsical touch to your spooky snacks.
Conclusion: These Mummy Hot Dogs are the ultimate fusion of fun and flavor, making them an instant hit at any gathering. The playful transformation of your regular hot dogs into charming mummies adds a unique and creative element to your dining experience. Plus, they are a breeze to make, ensuring that you have more time to enjoy the spooky festivities. So go ahead and wrap up some mummy magic, and watch everyone, young and old, delight in these monstrously delicious treats!
