How to Make Mummy Hot Dogs (Air Fryer & Oven)

  • Remove all moisture from the hot dogs with paper towels.  Set these aside.
  • Roll out the crescent dough. Use a pizza cutter or knife to slice the dough into ½ inch strips.  The length of the strips is not important.  
  • Take the strips of dough and wrap them around the weiners.  Try to criss-cross a little, but do not overlap too many layers or they will not bake properly.  Make sure you leave a little space uncovered to add the eyes later. 
  • Spray the basket with plain oil.
  • Place some of the mummies into the air fryer basket.  Make sure they are not too crowded.  You will have to bake them in batches.  Bake the mummies at 350 for 5 minutes.   Loosen them from the basket and bake for another 3 minutes.  
  • If you prefer to make these in the oven, just place all of the mummies onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.  Make sure they are not too crowded.  Bake them for 8-10 minutes at 350 degrees or until golden.
  • Use a small amount of mustard (or ketchup) to attach the candy eyes.

Helpful Notes:

  • What could I use instead of candy eyes? You could just make a dab with the mustard, or ketchup, or a combination.
  • I don’t care for crescent dough – what could I use instead? Pizza dough will work well too.
  • Can these be made ahead of time? Yes, they may be made up to 2 days ahead.  Place them on a baking sheet so they aren’t touching each other, and wrap the pan tightly with plastic wrap. 

Storage and Reheating Instructions:

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. 

Make them in the Air Fryer or the Oven!
