Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package puff pastry sheets thawed if frozen
  • 8 hot dogs hot dogs
  • 1 egg egg beaten, for egg wash
  • to taste salt and pepper

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Sharp knife
  • Pastry brush
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and set it aside.
  2. Unroll the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into thin strips, about 1/4 inch wide, to resemble bandages.
  3. Place a hot dog on the edge of a pastry strip and start wrapping it, overlapping slightly, to create a bandage effect. Leave a small space at one end for the hot dog’s face.
  4. Repeat with the remaining hot dogs and pastry strips, ensuring each is fully wrapped with some ends tucked underneath for security.
  5. Brush each wrapped hot dog lightly with beaten egg, which helps achieve a shiny, golden crust when baked.
  6. Use a small amount of egg wash to draw two small dots on the front of each mummy for eyes, or place small bits of black olive or pepper for a spooky effect if desired.
  7. Place the formed mummies on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown, and the hot dogs are heated through.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. The pastry should be crisp and flaky, with a warm, savory hot dog inside.
  10. Arrange the mummy hot dogs on a platter and serve warm with optional dips like ketchup or mustard for extra fun.

Notes

You can add small edible decorations like chopped herbs or cheese bits to give more “monster” details. For extra spooky eyes, use small bits of black olive or pepperoni.
