Ingredients:

  • 8 hot dogs (beef, pork, or vegetarian), about 15cm long
  • 1 sheet (about 396g / 14 ounces) pre-made puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • Ketchup or mustard, for decorating
  • Everything bagel seasoning (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Lightly flour a clean surface. Unfold the thawed puff pastry and gently roll it out slightly (if needed) to even it out.
  3. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the puff pastry into thin strips, approximately 1cm (½ inch) wide.
  4. Starting at one end of a hot dog, wrap a strip of puff pastry around it, overlapping slightly as you go. Leave a small portion of the hot dog exposed at the top for the 'face.' Repeat with remaining hot dogs.
  5. Place the wrapped hot dogs (mummies) on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
  6. Brush the puff pastry with the beaten egg wash.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed up.
  8. Let the Mummy Dogs cool slightly on the baking sheet. Use ketchup or mustard (in a small piping bag or applied with a toothpick) to create eyes on the exposed portion of the hot dog.
  9. Serve warm and enjoy!
