Gluten-Free Mummy Hot Dogs
Kids will love these gluten-free Mummy Hot Dogs, a spooky Halloween twist on the classic "pigs in a blanket."
Ingredients
- 6 hot dogs
- 1 sheet of gluten-free puff pastry Schar Gluten-Free Puff Pastry (fully defrosted) or Sweet Loren's Gluten-Free Puff Pastry (refrigerated, not defrosted)
- 12 candy eyes
- 1 tablespoon ketchup to "glue" eyes to the mummy hot dogs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400℉ for Schar or 425℉ for Sweet Loren's. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Gently unroll the sheet of refrigerated Sweet Loren's Gluten Free Puff Pastry or defrosted Schar Gluten Free Puff Pastry Schar gluten-free puff pastry sheet on the included parchment paper. If the dough cracks (Schar's will), put a little water on your fingertips and press it back together.
- Use a pizza wheel to cut the puff pastry sheet (along the shorter length of the puff pastry sheet, creating shorter strips) into 24 strips approximately ¼ inch wide.
- Wrap 4 strips of puff pastry around each hot dog, leaving a spot open to add eyes after baking. As you wrap the strips around the hot dog, firmly press the dough together wherever pieces of dough cross, to minimize breaking. If the dough breaks, just press the broken ends together. (They do not have to be perfect to look like bandaged-wrapped mummies.)
- Place each wrapped hot dog on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until the puff pastry is golden brown, approximately 12 minutes.
- Let the mummy hot dogs cool for a few minutes before adding eyes. Place a dot of ketchup on each candy eye and attach two eyes to each mummy hot dog.
- Serve with ketchup and mustard for dipping!
Notes
Option: Instead of candy eyes, use a toothpick to apply a dot of ketchup or mustard for eyes.
Gluten-free Puff Pastry is not as flexible as traditional puff pastry. If it tears, just press it back together, and don't stress about it being perfect. The finished hot dogs will still look like adorable, bandage-wrapped mummies.
Schar & Sweet Loren's puff pastry sheets have different prep requirements. Schar's must be fully defrosted, 3 hours at room temperature. Keep Sweet Loren's in the fridge until ready to cut strips.
