Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces hot dogs juicy and smoky
  • 1 sheet puff pastry thawed if frozen
  • 1 egg egg beaten, for egg wash
  • 1 tablespoon water to mix with egg
  • optional black olives or small vegetables for eyes and decorations

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Sharp knife
  • Pastry brush

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the puff pastry sheet on a clean surface and cut it into thin strips, about 1/4 inch wide — these will become the mummy bandages.
  3. Wrap each hot dog with strips of puff pastry, overlapping slightly and leaving a small gap at one end for the hot dog to show through.
  4. Place the wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
  5. Mix the beaten egg with a splash of water to create an egg wash, then brush this over the pastry for a shiny, golden finish.
  6. If using, add small pieces of olives or vegetables as eyes or decorations to give your mummies a spooky face.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy, and the hot dogs are heated through.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving, revealing crispy bandages wrapped around warm, smoky hot dogs.

Notes

For extra spooky effect, use black olives or small vegetables for eyes. Keep an eye on baking time to prevent over-browning, and cover with foil if necessary.
