Mummy Dogs With Crescent Dough Kids Actually Eat
Mummy dogs with crescent dough are basically pigs in a blanket wearing a costume: salty hot dogs wrapped in flaky dough “bandages,” with optional melty cheese and mustard eyes.
Equipment
- Sheet pan
- Parchment paper
- Knife or pizza cutter
- Paper towels
Ingredients
- 8 hot dogs about 450 g / 1 lb total
- 1 can refrigerated crescent dough (crescent rolls) about 225–240 g / 8 oz
- 4 slices cheddar cheese (or American) optional; about 80 g / 3 oz, cut into thin strips
- cooking spray or neutral oil a light mist, for the dough
For the eyes (after baking)
- 1–2 tsp yellow mustard for eyes (after baking)
Optional for serving
- ketchup, mustard, or ranch for dipping
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 190°C / 375°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment.
- Prep the hot dogs: Pat them dry with paper towels.
- Unroll the crescent dough. If you have triangles, press the perforations together to make 4 rectangles.
- Cut “bandage” strips: Slice the dough into thin strips, roughly 6 mm / 1/4 inch wide, making enough to wrap all 8 hot dogs.
- Add cheese (optional): Lay a few thin cheese strips along each hot dog (or tuck one strip under the dough as you wrap). Don’t overdo it to avoid leaking.
- Wrap like a mummy: Wind dough strips around each hot dog, crisscrossing and leaving a couple small gaps. Leave a bare spot near the top for “eyes.” Don’t stretch the dough aggressively.
- Arrange on the pan seam-side down, spaced apart. Lightly mist the dough with cooking spray (optional, helps browning).
- Bake 12–15 minutes, until the dough is deep golden in thinner spots and the hot dogs are heated through. If the dough browns too fast, lower to 175°C / 350°F and bake 2–4 minutes more.
- Add eyes after baking: Cool 2–3 minutes, then dot mustard for eyes.
- Serve warm (best within about 20 minutes).
