How to Make Mummy Dogs in the Air Fryer
- Remove the hot dogs from packing and set them aside, you want the hot dogs dry.
- Remove the rolls from the can and flatten each set of the rolls by unrolling but not separating the pieces.
- Pinch closed the perforations in the dough.
- Then place the dough between two sheets of parchment and then roll it flat to 1/8” thick.
- Using a pizza cutter or knife, cut the dough into strips. Make the strips un-uniform between 1/8” to 1/4” wide.
- Wrap each hot dog using the strips of the dough to mimic a loose mummy wrap. The dough will expand slightly so be sure there isn’t too much bunching or overlapping. The hot dog should still be visible throughout.
- Leave a spot open for the eyes somewhere.
Air Frying Mummy Dogs
- Place the wrapped hot dogs in the air fryer basket. I like to add parchment liner to the basket for nonsticking.
- Cook at 350 for 12-15 minutes until the dough is cooked and slightly golden.
- Remove and place the eyes on the mummies. You can use a drop of ketchup or mustard as the glue to hold the eyes in place. Let the eyes dry before platting.
- Enjoy the fun spooky treat.
Can these be made with mini hot dogs?
Yes, mummy dogs can be made with mini hot dogs. Simply wrap the mini hot dogs in the dough the same way you do the regular-size ones. You will want to watch them closely as they will cook a bit faster than the larger hot dogs.
How do I store mummy dogs?
These mummy dogs can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven or microwave before serving.
Making ahead of time
Yes, mummy dogs can be made ahead of time. Simply wrap the hot dogs in the dough and store them in the fridge until you are ready to cook them. When you are ready to serve, cook them in the air fryer at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes.
What air fryer do you use?
Small
We actually have 3 air fryers. I have a smaller one from Phillips that we started with. I have since given that to my son since he’s only cooking for 1.
Medium
But the more I used the air fryer I realized I really wanted a digital screen. It wasn’t any more expensive, in fact- our XL air fryer from GoWISE was less expensive than the Phillips and I love its ease & extra functions.
Plus it comes with a lot of the extra accessories I like to use when cooking with my fryer.
Large
But I when I started working on my second air fryer book, I wanted to change things up. I picked up this LARGE air fryer that has been wonderful. It has Touch Screen Presets plus it is XL Family Size, which is great!
