Mummy dogs recipe No4

Mummy dogs run circles around traditional hot dogs like you get at a hot dog vendor at a ball game or the ones that you make for yourself at home. Actually those two are basically the same since they use the same hot dog bun. Mummy dogs on the other hand, use fresh baked though that you first wrap your favorite wiener in and than you stick it in the oven. You still want to use catchup and mustard the same way you would with a regular hot dog, but there is a world of a difference when it comes to the taste. Even though, you are still eating mystery meat that hot dog meat is, the freshly backed bread makes all the difference in the world.

I am sure the so called mummy dogs have been around for quite a while, but personally I only noticed them recently. They started selling them at my local mall, and my reaction right away was “man this sounds great, how come I didn’t think of this” even before I tasted my first one.

So, I set out to do some digging on the Internet to find a good recipe. I am sure the best mummy dog you can make is with your grandma’s hand kneaded dough, but let’s face it: a hot dog is still a fast food item and no one wants to spend a lot of time with baking them. If there was a quick and easy solution to make these delicious treats at home, it would be great.

I am sure you have seen the frozen raw baking products. You might have had some cravings for freshly baked cookies or biscuits and the box that have set on the self for weeks just didn’t cut it. It turns out that if you use Pillsbury’s refrigerated crescent dinner rolls, you can have mummy dogs for dinner in a matter of minutes.

I took the liberty to still the recipe from their website:

Mummy Dog Ingredients

1 can Pillsbury refrigerated crescent dinner rolls (count of 8) ]
2 1/2 slices American cheese slices, quartered (while you are at it you might want to use real cheese, though, not this processed stuff)
10 large hot dogs (the brand doesn’t matter)
Cooking spray
Mustard or ketchup, if that catches your fancy

Directions to Make Mummy Dogs

1. Preheat oven to 375 Fahrenheit. Unroll dough; separate at the perforations creating four rectangles then press perforations to seal. Use a knife or a pair of kitchen scissors to cut each rectangle lengthwise into ten pieces, (basically 40 pieces of dough). Slice cheese slices into quarters.

2. Next, wrap four pieces of dough around each wiener and 1/4 slice of the cheese to look like “bandages,” stretching the dough a little bit to cover the hot dog entirely. Place them on a large baking (cookie) sheet, with the cheese side down; spray dough lightly with the cooking spray.

3. Bake 13 to 17 minutes or until dough is light golden brown and hot dogs are hot. It may take longer to bake at higher altitudes.

Enjoy your mummy hot dogs!
