Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tube crescent roll dough
  • 8 hot dogs
  • edible candy eyes

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and let it run for about 5 minutes while you prep the ingredients.
  • Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. Using a pizza cutter or pastry wheel, slice each triangle lengthwise into thin strips about ¼ inch wide.
  • Wrap one hot dog at a time with the dough strips, starting from the bottom and working your way up. Leave a small gap near the top for the face. Continue wrapping until the hot dog is mostly covered, with some strips overlapping for a mummy-like look.
  • Repeat the wrapping process with the remaining hot dogs and dough strips.
  • Arrange the wrapped hot dogs in your air fryer basket, making sure they aren’t touching each other so they can crisp up evenly.
  • Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and cooked through.
  • Cool the mummy dogs for 1 to 2 minutes after removing them from the air fryer.
  • Place two edible eyes on each mummy in the open space you left earlier. If they don’t stick on their own, use a tiny dab of mustard or ketchup as edible glue.
  • Serve warm with dipping sauces like ketchup, mustard, or cheese sauce.

Notes

Chef Jenn’s Tips

  • Keep the dough cold until you're ready to cut—it holds its shape better.
  • Don’t crowd the basket; leave room for airflow so the dough cooks evenly.
  • Add the candy eyes once the mummies cool slightly so they stay put.
  • A pastry wheel gives smoother strips than using a regular knife.
