Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces hot dogs juicy and salty
  • 1 sheet puff pastry thawed if frozen
  • 1 egg egg beaten, for egg wash
  • optional cheddar cheese sliced or shredded, optional
  • optional seasonings paprika or garlic powder, optional

Equipment

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

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Unwrap the puff pastry sheet and place it on a lightly floured surface. Roll it out gently with a rolling pin to smooth and slightly thin the dough, making it easier to wrap around the hot dogs.
  3. Cut the puff pastry into four long strips, each about 1.5 inches wide, enough to wrap around each hot dog.
  4. Pat the hot dogs dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture, which helps the dough stay crispy.
  5. Wrap each hot dog snugly with a strip of puff pastry, starting at one end and spiraling around, leaving a small gap at the top for eyes if desired. Pinch the dough edges to seal.
  6. If you like, place small slices of cheese on top of the wrapped hot dogs before sealing to add gooeyness during baking.
  7. Brush the entire surface of each wrapped hot dog with the beaten egg to give them a shiny, golden finish.
  8. Use a sharp knife to make two small slits on the top of each wrapped hot dog to serve as eyes, adding a playful, mummy-like appearance.
  9. Place the wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and crispy.
  10. Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes; the filling will be hot and bubbling. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup, mustard, or spicy mayo.

Notes

For extra fun, add small edible eyes using tiny dollops of mustard or cheese on the slits. These hot dogs are best enjoyed warm and crispy.
