Mummy Dogs

These make a fun Halloween Treat, but my kids love them so much that

we make them all year round.

Ingredients:

16 hot dogs

1/2 batch of this basic dough

1 egg

Mustard, for serving

Preheat the oven to 375. Unwrap the hot dogs and have them ready on a plate.  Roll out the dough very thin, then use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut skinny strips of dough.

Holding the hot dog in one hand, use your other hand to begin wrapping it in one of the strips of dough.  Leave a little bit of open space around the "face" of the mummy.  Tuck the end piece underneath the mummy dog.  Repeat with all the hot dogs & lay them on a greased baking sheet.

Make a glaze by cracking an egg into a small bowl.  Whisk in 1 Tablespoon of water.  Lightly brush the glaze all over the top of each mummy dog. Bake them for 18-20 minutes, until the dough is nice and golden brown. 

Before serving, dot the mummy dogs with little mustard "eyes."  If you are making this for Halloween, serve them on a black platter or iron griddle.
