Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 pieces hot dogs plump and juicy
  • 1 roll bread dough store-bought or homemade, elastic and smooth
  • 2 tsp mustard or ketchup for eyes and decoration
  • 1 egg egg beaten, for optional egg wash
  • optional olives or small cheese pieces for extra spooky eyes

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Sharp knife
  • Pastry brush

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Unroll the bread dough and cut it into strips about 1 inch wide. This creates the mummy wrapping.
  3. Wrap each hot dog with strips of dough, starting from one end and spiraling around, leaving a small section at one end exposed to mimic the mummy's face.
  4. Place the wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down to keep the dough secure.
  5. If desired, brush the tops of the dough with a beaten egg for a shiny, golden finish.
  6. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until the dough is puffed and golden brown, filling your kitchen with a toasty aroma.
  7. While baking, prepare small dots of mustard or ketchup to serve as eyes. For extra fun, place small pieces of olives or cheese on top to create spooky eyes.
  8. Once out of the oven, let the mummy hot dogs cool slightly, then add the eyes by gently pressing them onto the dough using a dab of mustard or ketchup as glue.
  9. Serve these playful treats warm, with extra ketchup or mustard on the side for dipping, and enjoy the delighted reactions!

Notes

Feel free to customize the eyes with small cheese pieces or olives for extra spookiness. Keep an eye on the oven to prevent over-browning, and make sure the dough is fully baked for best texture.
