Ingredients You’ll Need To Make Mummy Dogs With Homemade Dough
- Hot Dogs – Grab your favorite brand of regular hot dogs! You can also use turkey hot dogs if you’d like.
- Warm Water
- Granulated Sugar – just a pinch!
- Active Dry Yeast
- Salt
- Vegetable Oil
- All-purpose Flour
- Edible Googly Eyes – You can find these at your local Walmart, Hobby Lobby, Amazon, or most grocery stores. Make sure they are edible!
Steps For Making Mummy Dogs With Homemade Dough
In a medium mixing bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar.
Let the yeast mixture set for 5-10 minutes, until the yeast is bubbling.
Once the yeast is bubbled, stir in oil and salt.
Add in 1 cup of flour and mix until well incorporated, if necessary add an extra half cup of flour if the dough is too sticky.
Knead for 5 minutes. Once kneaded, roll out the dough into a rectangle about a ¼ inch thick.
Cut the dough into 8 strips. A pizza cutter works perfectly for this step!
Roll them out in your hand into long snakes.
Wrap each strip around each hot dog leaving space for googly eyes. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Cool for a few minutes, then use a toothpick with a dot of mustard or ketchup to place the eyes on the mummy.
Enjoy!
Helpful Tips
You can easily stretch the dough to make 16 hotdogs if needed.
If you don’t have the time or inclination to make your own dough, you can definitely use refrigerated crescent dough sheets or a can of refrigerated pizza dough.
If you can’t find the crescent sheets, you can use crescent roll dough, just make sure to press the triangles together to make a sheet before cutting into strips and wrapping the hotdogs.
Storage and Reheating Tips
Once the mummy dogs are cooked and cooled, they can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
If you plan to store them for longer, it’s best to freeze them. Wrap each mummy dog individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place them in a freezer-safe container or bag. They can be frozen for up to three months.
When it’s time to reheat leftover mummy dogs, there are a few options. The easiest way is to microwave them for 30-60 seconds until heated through.
If you prefer a crispier crust, you can reheat them in the oven at 350°F for 5-10 minutes. Be sure to remove any plastic wrap or aluminum foil before reheating.
If you have leftover dough, it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days or in the freezer for up to three months. To use the dough again, let it come to room temperature before rolling it out.
It’s important to note that reheating previously cooked food can increase the risk of foodborne illness if not done properly. Be sure to reheat the mummy dogs to an internal temperature of 165°F before consuming.
