Hi, I’m Catherine.
Mama of three. A Kentucky girl living in California. Here’s what I know: all kids can be great eaters and mealtime must be easy. I create simple, healthy recipes the whole family will love.
Mummy Dogs
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!

These are just adorable... Loved their lil faces peeking out from the dough.
So cute I just wanna take a bite :-)
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.
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.
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?
What a clever idea, fun for kids to eat!
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.
Just wondering roughly how much pizza dough is needed for this recipe? Don't have a Trader Joes here so I'm going to go to a local pizza place to get dough to make these, but not sure how much ill need? Thank you very much!
1 lb of pizza dough :)
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!

A silly question... But does Kenya eat it cold in his lunch or do they hear it up?
Lunch is served at room temp. Nothing is heated up!
[…] Tonight, I had some pizza dough that needed to be used, and I happened to have some unprocessed hot dogs (yes, it’s possible) I had purchased which also needed to be used. So, we wrapped that pizza dough around those dogs…. http://b12.ba4.myftpupload.com/2009/10/27/mummy-dogs […]
