The kids will love these homemade Mummy Dogs this Halloween made with turkey hot dogs – a fun kid- friendly appetizer for your Halloween party!

Mummy Hot Dog Recipe

unbleached all-purpose flour

baking powder

salt

egg white (beaten (whole egg works fine too))

turkey hot dogs (such as Applegate Naturals, halved crosswise)

candy eyes

mustard (optional

Egg white

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Line a baking sheet with a silicon baking mat or parchment paper. If using parchment paper, spray with oil to avoid sticking.

In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt and whisk well. Add the yogurt and mix with a fork or spatula until well combined, it will look like small crumbles.

Lightly dust flour on a work surface and remove dough from the bowl, knead the dough a few times until dough is smooth and tacky, but not sticky, about 15 turns (it should not leave dough on your hand when you pull away).

Dust your work surface and a rolling pin with more flour.

Roll the dough out thin into a rectangle. Slice the dough into 1/4 inch thick slices.

Wrap the dough around each hot dog half leaving room for the eyes and place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining hot dogs and dough.

Brush each with the egg wash and bake in oven for 12 minutes.

Using mustard or ketchup, “glue” the eyes on.  Allow to cool for 10 minutes and serve.

Kid approved! Made these tonight for the kids and they loved them. I will say the dough was hard to wrap around the hot dog as it was still sticky. I did knead per directions. Kids didn’t mind they didn’t look perfect.
