Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 pieces hot dogs your favorite sausages
  • 1 package puff pastry sheets thawed if frozen
  • 1 egg egg beaten for egg wash
  • 1 teaspoon water to mix with egg
  • optional cheddar or mozzarella cheese for stuffing or topping
  • optional to taste paprika or garlic powder for seasoning

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Pastry brush
  • Knife or pizza cutter
  • Cooling rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Unroll the puff pastry sheet on a clean surface and cut it into strips about 1 inch wide using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
  3. Place a hot dog on one end of a pastry strip and wrap it spirally, overlapping slightly, to resemble a mummy’s bandages. Repeat with all hot dogs.
  4. Arrange the wrapped hot dogs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk the egg with a teaspoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush this over the pastry to give a shiny, golden finish once baked.
  6. If desired, sprinkle paprika or garlic powder over the wrapped hot dogs for extra flavor and visual appeal.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed, golden, and crispy.
  8. Once baked, transfer the hot dogs to a cooling rack and let them cool slightly to maintain their crunch.
  9. Serve your mummy hot dogs warm with dips like mustard, ketchup, or spicy mayo for added fun and flavor.

Notes

To make these even more fun, add small dots of mustard or ketchup to create 'eyes' on the mummies before baking. For a cheesy surprise, stuff some cheese inside the hot dogs before wrapping with pastry.
