- Cut the dough into thin strips using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, varying the widths between ⅛” to ¼” wide.
- Wrap each hotdog with different dough widths, mimicking a loose mummy wrap. The dough will expand slightly so be sure the hot dog is still visible after wrapping. You also want to leave space for the eyes at one end.
- Lightly spritz the basket with oil or use a parchment paper liner. Place the dough-wrapped hotdogs in the air fryer basket.
- Cook at 350 degrees F for 12-15 minutes or until the dough is cooked through and golden brown.
- Remove mummy dogs from the basket. Using ketchup or mustard as the “glue”, place the candy eyes on the mummies. Let the eyes dry for a few minutes before serving.candy eyeballs
Notes
- Don’t overlap the dough too much or it may not cook through evenly.
- Dough substitutions: use a crescent dough sheet or pizza dough.
- Don’t stack or overlap the mummy dogs in the basket. They need air to circulate through to cook properly.
- If you don’t want to use candy eyeballs, use ketchup or mustard. Use a toothpick to dot the eyes on after cooking.
- Oven directions: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Prepare as directed, up to cooking. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spritz with non-stick spray. Place mummy dogs on baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Best served fresh but you can store leftovers in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for 3-5 minutes at 350°F.
- Nutritional information will vary depending on the brand of hot dogs you use.
