Ingredients
Scale
Hot Dogs
- 10 hot dogs
Crescent Dough
- 1 tube refrigerated crescent dough sheet
Decorations
- 20 candy eyes
Instructions
- Prepare Hot Dogs: Open the package of hot dogs and pat each one dry with a paper towel to ensure the dough adheres well.
- Cut Dough Strips: Unroll the refrigerated crescent dough sheet onto a clean cutting board. Cut the dough into 4 squares, then slice each square lengthwise into 10 narrow strips to use as the mummy bandages.
- Wrap Hot Dogs: Take 4 strips of dough and stretch each slightly before wrapping around one hot dog, leaving a small spot near the top uncovered for placing the candy eyes later. This creates the mummy bandage effect.
- Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the wrapped hot dogs into the air fryer basket with space between each to allow proper air circulation. You may need to cook them in batches depending on your air fryer’s size.
- Air Fry: Cook at 330°F (165°C) for 7-8 minutes or until the crescent dough is golden brown and fully baked. For subsequent batches, cooking time may be slightly shorter because the air fryer is already heated.
- Add Eyes: Remove the hot dogs from the air fryer and immediately press two candy eyes onto the exposed dough area to complete the mummy look.
Notes
- Use the air fryer for a quick and easy cooking method requiring only 10 minutes total prep and cook time.
- Stretching the dough strips before wrapping helps create a more authentic mummy bandage appearance.
- Allow space between hot dogs in the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and browning.
- For a fun party snack, you can double or triple the batch size and keep cooked ones warm in a low oven while finishing others.
