Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Original Crescent Rolls (8 Count) or 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Original Crescent Dough Sheet
- 2 1/2 slices American cheese, quartered (2.5 oz)
- 1 package (10 count) Oscar Mayer™ Classic Wieners Hot Dogs
- Cooking spray
- Mustard or ketchup, if desired
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Heat your oven to 350°F to ensure it reaches the right temperature by the time the dogs are wrapped and ready to bake.
- Prepare the dough: If using crescent rolls, unroll the dough and separate at the perforations to create 4 rectangles. Press the perforations to seal the dough. If using the dough sheet, unroll and cut into 4 rectangles.
- Cut the dough into strips: Using a knife or pizza cutter, slice each rectangle lengthwise into 10 thin pieces, each under 1/2 inch (1 cm) wide, yielding about 40 strips total.
- Prepare the cheese: Slice the cheese into quarters, roughly 1/2 slice per piece, then cut in half again to create small cheese strips.
- Wrap the hot dogs: Wrap 4 dough strips around each hot dog with a quarter slice of cheese underneath, slightly stretching the dough to cover the hot dog completely to mimic mummy bandages.
- Create the face opening: Leave about 1/2 inch of one end of each hot dog uncovered by pulling back the dough strips slightly, so the ‘face’ of the mummy peeks through.
- Arrange and prepare to bake: Place the wrapped hot dogs cheese-side down on an ungreased large cookie sheet, then lightly spray the dough with cooking spray to help it brown evenly.
- Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 13 to 17 minutes, or until the dough is light golden brown and the hot dogs are heated through.
- Add facial details: Use a toothpick dipped in mustard to draw eyes and mouth on the exposed ‘face’ of each mummy dog, adding a fun finishing touch.
Notes
- A fun and festive Halloween dinner or snack that’s sure to please kids and adults alike.
- The cheese inside the dough helps keep the hot dog moist and adds a cheesy flavor.
- Using cooking spray on the dough helps achieve a nice golden color during baking.
- Feel free to substitute mustard with ketchup or your favorite condiments for decorating the mummy faces.
- These can be made ahead of time and baked shortly before serving for convenience.
