FAQs
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes! Assemble and wrap the hot dogs in dough, then refrigerate them on a tray. Bake right before serving for best results.
Can I use puff pastry instead of crescent dough?
Absolutely. Puff pastry will give you a flakier, more buttery mummy wrap.
What dipping sauces go best with Hot Dog Mummies?
Ketchup and mustard are classics, but cheese sauce, ranch, or spicy mayo are delicious too.
