Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 pieces hot dogs juicy and fully cooked
  • 1 package puff pastry thawed if frozen
  • 1 egg egg beaten, for egg wash
  • optional mustard for dipping
  • optional tablespoon sesame seeds for sprinkling on pastry before baking

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Pastry brush
  • Sharp knife
  • Cooling rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the puff pastry on a clean surface and cut it into strips approximately 1 inch wide and long enough to wrap around each hot dog.
  3. Place a hot dog on the end of a pastry strip and gently wrap the pastry around it, leaving space at one end to resemble a mummy's head. Seal the edges with a little beaten egg if needed.
  4. Repeat with all hot dogs, arranging them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Brush the tops of the pastry-wrapped hot dogs with the beaten egg to give them a shiny, golden finish. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired for added crunch and flavor.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed up and golden brown, filling the kitchen with a buttery aroma.
  7. Remove from the oven and let rest on a cooling rack for about 5 minutes, allowing the pastry to set and cool slightly.
  8. Serve warm with mustard or your favorite dipping sauce for a fun and satisfying snack that’s crispy on the outside and juicy inside.

Notes

Ensure the pastry edges are well sealed to prevent unwrapping during baking. Using a sharp knife helps make clean cuts. Keep an eye on the pastry in the oven to prevent over-browning.
