Mummy Hot Dogs
Make mummy dogs healthier by making them from scratch with turkey hot dogs and my Greek yogurt dough, similar to these everything bagel pigs in a blanket. My niece took a cooking class in school and loved preparing pigs in a blanket. However, they used mostly processed ingredients, so her mom and I discussed finding some ways to create them more nutritious. My picky niece gave them a 9 out of 10 (tough critic!). For more kid-friendly appetizers, try these Pepperoni Pizza Bites, Stuffed Bagel Balls, and Pizza Sausage Rolls.

Hot Dog Mummy Ingredients
- Flour: Use all-purpose flour or whole wheat for a little more protein and fiber. If you’re gluten-free, use a gluten-free flour, like Bob’s Red Mill.
- Baking Powder helps the dough rise. Make sure it’s not expired.
- Salt: Kosher salt has larger crystals, so if you use table salt, use less.
- Greek Yogurt: You’ll need a thick, non-fat plain Greek yogurt, like Stonyfield or Fage 0%. If there’s any liquid, drain it before using.
- Egg: Brush the dough with egg white or a whole egg.
- Hot Dogs: Halve eight turkey hot dogs crosswise. Applegate Naturals is my favorite.
- Candy Eyes transform pigs in a blanket into mummies.
- Sauce: Serve with mustard or ketchup if desired.
How to Make Mummy Hot Dogs
- Prep: Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. If using parchment, spray it with oil to prevent the dough from sticking.
- Make the Bagel Dough: Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix in the yogurt with a fork or spatula (It will look like small crumbles).
- Knead Dough: Lightly dust flour on a work surface and knead the dough about 15 times until it’s smooth and tacky. Knead until it’s not sticky and there’s no dough on your hands when you pull away.
- Roll the Dough: Dust your work surface and rolling pin with more flour. Roll the dough into a thin rectangle and slice it into quarter-inch thick slices.
- Make the Mummy Dogs: Wrap the dough around each hot dog half, leaving a space at the top for the eyes. Place it on the prepared baking sheet and repeat the step with the remaining hot dogs and bagel dough.
- Bake: Brush the dough with egg wash and bake for 12 minutes.
- Mummy Hot Dog Eyes: “Glue” the eyes onto the turkey dogs with ketchup or mustard. Cool for 10 minutes and serve.

Variations and tips:
- Sticky Dough? Add a little more flour.
- Dough: Swap Greek yogurt bagel dough with pizza dough.
- Meat: Substitute turkey or chicken sausage links.

Can I make mummy dogs in advance?
These mini mummy hot dogs are the perfect appetizer for your next Halloween party since you can prep them in advance.
- Make the dough ahead and wrap in plastic, keep refrigerated. Slice the turkey dogs the day before.
- Before your party, roll out the dough, cut it, and wrap it around the meat.
- Bake them right before serving so they’re warm for your guests.
How to Store Mummy Dogs
Refrigerate mummy dogs for up to 3 days or freeze them for 3 months. Reheat leftovers in the air fryer, oven, or microwave until warm.
