• Easy to serve: Enjoy them as a Halloween party snack or add a few sides for dinner.

Ingredients

• 8 fully cooked gluten-free hot dogs
• 1 sheet Sweet Loren’s gluten-free puff pastry, or enough to wrap your hot dogs
• Ketchup, for the eyes and serving

Another puff pastry option: Schär gluten-free puff pastry can also be used. Prepare it according to its package directions, including any thawing instructions. Sheet sizes vary, so adjust the amount of pastry as needed.

Check the labels on your hot dogs, pastry, and ketchup to keep the whole recipe gluten-free.

How to Make Gluten-Free Mummy Hot Dogs

1. Prepare your oven and baking sheet

For Sweet Loren’s puff pastry, preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper rated for that temperature.

If using Schär, follow the oven temperature on its package.

2. Cut the puff pastry into strips

Unroll the pastry and use a pizza cutter or knife to cut it into strips approximately ¼ inch wide. Keep the dough cool so it’s easier to handle.

3. Wrap your mummies

Pat the hot dogs dry with a paper towel. Wrap strips of puff pastry around each hot dog, overlapping and crisscrossing them to resemble mummy bandages.

Leave a small opening near one end for the eyes. Gently press the ends of the dough into another strip to help hold them in place.

4. Bake until golden

Arrange the wrapped hot dogs on the baking sheet with space between them.

For Sweet Loren’s, begin checking at 12 minutes and bake until the pastry is puffed, golden, and cooked through and the hot dogs are heated throughout. Its general pastry baking guidance is 12–15 minutes, but thicker overlapping strips may need longer.

For Schär, use its package baking directions as your starting point.

5. Add the ketchup eyes

Let the mummy dogs cool slightly. Use a toothpick or the tip of a small squeeze bottle to place two tiny dots of ketchupin each opening.

Serve warm with extra ketchup for dipping!

Tips for the Cutest Mummy Dogs

Leave gaps between the bandages. A little hot dog showing through helps create the mummy look and prevents a thick layer of dough.

Keep the pastry cool. If it becomes soft or sticky, refrigerate it briefly before continuing.

Add the eyes after baking. This keeps the ketchup dots neat and visible.

Let the kids get creative. Crooked bandages and uneven eyes give each mummy its own personality. Adults can handle cutting and the oven while kids help with wrapping.

Turn Them into an Easy Halloween Dinner

Serve your mummy hot dogs with fruit, roasted potato wedges, or vegetables and dip for a simple meal before trick-or-treating.

For a Halloween party, arrange them on a platter with a small bowl of ketchup. They’re easy to pick up and a fun savory addition alongside all those Halloween sweets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use Schär puff pastry instead of Sweet Loren’s?

Yes! Use Schär gluten-free puff pastry as an alternative, following its package instructions for thawing, oven temperature, and baking. Different doughs may bake differently.

Do I need candy eyes?

No! Two little dots of ketchup make simple mummy eyes, so there’s no need to buy extra decorations.

Can I use turkey hot dogs?

Yes. Beef, turkey, or chicken hot dogs work—just choose fully cooked hot dogs labeled gluten free.

Can I make these dairy-free?

Choose dairy-free puff pastry and hot dogs, and skip any optional butter or milk wash. Check each package to confirm the ingredients meet your needs.

How do I reheat them?

Reheat in an oven or toaster oven until hot throughout and the pastry is crisp again. Microwaving works in a pinch, but the pastry will be softer.
