Mummy Dogs

October 27, 2009

Even though Kenya has no idea what a Mummy is, he absolutely loved these hot dogs wrapped in whole wheat pizza dough. I put one in his school lunch the other day with sides of ketchup and mustard to dip it in and he was in heaven! These are probably a better Halloween treat for bigger kids who really get what Mummies are, but they taste great and are fun to eat no matter what. So if you are looking for a fun meal to serve at a party this holiday weekend, or just a fun way to liven up your hot dogs, this is a perfect recipe!

    Wow, that is awesome. My wife has been making this soaked-whole grain bread for weeks now and when we tried to make “hot dog buns” it wasn’t what she pictured. What a great idea! Now we’re ready to try again. Thanks for the awesome recipes!

    Bonnie,

    We used the same as Bonnie. No nitrate grass fed beef franks. They were soooo good and my boys gobbled them up. Thanks for an easy, fun idea for Halloween!

    I just pulled my mummy dogs out of the oven and had my first taste. They are so good! We used no nitrate grass fed beef franks from a local farm and whole foods gave us a glob of fresh made raw pizza dough! They were so easy and perfect for getting me in the mood for the Texas state fair!

    I’m wondering, are these good to eat cold/cool? I’d also like to make them for my son’s school lunch, but do you bake the same morning or previous night?

    Thanks… Love your site!

      These are so good when out of the oven and even at room temperature! I bake these in the morning – they might get a little dry if you bake the night before for the next day.

    What kind of hot dogs ( brands) would you recommend? I know that some have nitrates and other nasty stuff, so I’m wondering what would be the best choice. thanks :)

      I use two brands, Smart Dogs for veggie dogs and anything with no nitrates, Whole Foods and Trader Jo’s both sell no-nitrate hot dogs. I like turkey or veggie dogs from either place.

    Great idea. However, for lunch box note…I don’t think I have eaten a cold hot dog. Does that keep okay and taste okay not warmed?

    Great recipe! I’ve been making these for years – before kids even. My husband just loves them and like you said, they are easy to send in a lunchbox. I use a refrigerated tube of breadsticks and wrap those around the hotdogs before baking.

    I just loved this idea. I will be having a Girl Scouts meeting this week and will definetely be making this for the girls. They are going to love it. I made it for my kids and it was a hit. They love it and so did I.
