Ingredients
- Pillsbury Refrigerated Crescent Dinner Rolls: 1 (8-ounce) can
- Hot dogs (all-beef recommended): 8
- Butter, unsalted (melted): 2 tablespoons
- Mustard or edible candy eyes (optional, for decoration): As desired
Instructions
1. 1. Preheat Oven & Prep Rolls: First, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Then, unroll the crescent dough onto a clean surface. Separate it into triangles.
2. 2. Cut Dough Strips: Next, use a pizza cutter or knife to cut each triangle lengthwise into 3 thin strips. You will have 24 strips total.
3. 3. Wrap Hot Dogs: Carefully wrap one strip of dough around each hot dog, starting at one end and spiraling around to the other. Leave a small gap at one end for the “face” of your hot dog mummies. The wrapping does not need to be perfect; unevenness adds to the mummy effect!
4. 4. Brush with Butter: Arrange the wrapped hot dogs on an ungreased baking sheet. Brush the tops of the crescent-wrapped mummy dogs generously with melted butter. This gives them that irresistible golden, buttery finish.
5. 5. Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent dough turns golden brown and the hot dogs are heated through.
6. 6. Decorate (Optional): Remove the buttery crescent-wrapped mummy dogs from the oven. Let them cool slightly. Use mustard or edible candy eyes to create faces on the “head” part of each mummy dog. Serve immediately.
