3. Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions & Crisping Secrets
The most important part of making these mummies is getting the pastry right.
You want it to be flaky and crispy, so make sure to brush it with the egg wash and sprinkle with the seasonings before rolling it up.
Also, don’t overfill the pastry with the hotdog, or it will be hard to roll up tightly.

Step-by-Step Culinary Timeline
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about 1/8 inch.
3. Cut the pastry into 4-6 long strips, depending on how many mummies you want to make.
4. Place a hotdog at the center of each pastry strip, leaving a 1-inch border around the hotdog.
5. Brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg and sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
6. Roll up the pastry, starting from the long side, to form a tight cylinder. Place the mummy on the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down.
Meal-Prep Storage & Crispy Air-Fryer Reheating Guide
• Cool Before Sealing: Let cooked portions cool for 10 minutes before sealing in glass containers so steam never softens the crust (keeps 4 days in the fridge).
• Sauce on the Side: Store dips, drizzles, and fresh herbs separately until right before serving.
• 3-Minute Crispy Reheat: Reheat in a 380°F (193°C) air fryer or dry cast-iron skillet for 3–4 minutes to restore shatteringly crisp edges.
