Equipment
- Sharp Knife
- Pastry Brush
- Cooling Rack
Ingredients
- 1 sheet pack All-butter puff pastry thawed if frozen
- 4 pieces Hot dogs beef, turkey, or veggie
- 1 egg Egg beaten with a splash of water for wash
- 4 small Olives sliced for eyes
- 1 pinch Smoked paprika or garlic powder optional, for seasoning pastry
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to keep things tidy.
- Unfold the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface and cut it into long strips about half an inch wide. Cover any leftovers to prevent drying out.
- Wrap each hot dog with the pastry strips, overlapping slightly to mimic mummy bandages, leaving small gaps for eyes and face details.
- Brush the pastry-wrapped hot dogs lightly with the beaten egg wash, focusing on the edges to help them brown and shine during baking.
- Arrange the wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet, placing them seam side down so they stay wrapped tight.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, until the pastry is deep golden brown and crispy, and the aroma is rich and smoky.
- Remove from the oven and immediately press small olive slices or cheese dots into the gaps for eyes, gently pressing to make them stick.
- Let the mummy hot dogs rest on a cooling rack for about 5 minutes until the pastry firms up and they're cool enough to handle.
- Once cooled slightly, serve these crispy, spooky treats on a platter and enjoy their playful, flaky crunch!
Notes
For extra fun, use different shaped eyes or add small edible decorations. Keep an eye on the oven to prevent over-browning, and have fun customizing your hot dogs!
