Instructions
Step by step
- 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan / 400°F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2
Dry the sausages: Pat your hot dogs completely dry with paper towel. This ensures the pastry wraps securely without slipping during baking.
- 3
Unroll your sheet of puff pastry on a clean, lightly floured surface.
- 4
Using a sharp knife or pizza wheel, slice the pastry lengthwise into thin strips roughly 5mm to 1cm (about 1/4 to 1/2 inch) wide.
- 5
Take one hot dog and wrap a pastry strip loosely around it, starting near the top or bottom.
- 6
Continue wrapping the strip around the sausage, overlapping the edges slightly like mummy bandages, but leaving a small 1-inch gap near the top uncovered for the face.
- 7
Gently press the ends of the pastry dough to seal them so they do not unroll in the oven. Repeat for all remaining sausages.
- 8
Arrange the wrapped mummies spaced evenly apart on your prepared baking sheet.
- 9
Lightly brush the pastry strips with melted butter or milk to give them a golden, glossy finish.
- 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to , or until the pastry is puffed up, flaky, and golden brown.
- 11
Remove the tray from the oven and let them rest on the baking sheet for 3 to to firm up slightly.
- 12
Use the tip of a toothpick dipped in yellow mustard or ketchup to dot two little eyes into the exposed face gap of each mummy.
- 13
Serve warm alongside a small bowl of ketchup or BBQ sauce for dipping.
