This easy snack is sure to be a favorite among kids and adults, and theyโ€™re a great snack to serve at any Halloween party. You might want to make a double batch because theyโ€™ll disappear so quickly.

To make them, cut the pizza dough (or ready-rolled puff pastry) into thin strips, then wrap them around the sausages to look like mummies.ย Bake in the oven until golden, and decorate them with edible eyes, ketchup (blood), and flaked almonds (teeth).

Recipe Tip

Feel free to make each one look slightly different. You can even use different types of sausage, cheese, BBQ sauce, or mustard.

Mummy Sausage Rolls Ingredients

Please be sure to scroll down to the recipe card below for the complete details!

Rolled pizza dough, sausages, a small bowl of ketchup, and a dish of candy eyes arranged on a gray surface.
  • Pizza dough: Storebought and rectangular for easy shaping.
  • Sausages: I use 8 precooked Frankfurters (pork sausages) for this recipe (these are organic and yes, they look a bit wrinkly, thatโ€™s just how they come).
  • Ketchup: To garnish.
  • Candy eyes: Regular-sized, or swap for bloody-veined or mini candy eyes as you prefer.

Possible Variations

  • Pizza dough: Puff pastry or crescent dough (please note the cooking times may vary slightly).
  • Sausages: Any precooked sausages or hot dogs you like, beef, chicken, lamb, turkey, pork, etc.
  • Ketchup: Chili sauce, salsa, sriracha, or similar.
  • Other fillings: Instead of sausage try ham and cheese, feta, bacon, or shredded cooked beef or pork.
  • Sweet version: Swap sausages for a piece of chocolate and dust with powdered sugar when the rolls cool down.

Recipe Tip

For glossy rolls, brush them with egg wash just before baking.

How to Store Leftovers

FAQs

Can I make the hot dog mummies in advance?

Sure! Make them a few hours ahead and transfer them to the fridge. Take them out 30 minutes before serving and garnish with ketchup.

Are the rolls freezer-friendly?

Yes, for up to three months. Let them cool completely after baking, then transfer them to a freezer bag.

How do I reheat the rolls?

Set the oven to 100ยบC (212ยบF) and place the rolls on a baking sheet. Bake them from frozen for about 20 minutes until heated through. If reheating from the fridge, theyโ€™ll need about 5-7 minutes.

Why do I need to add the candy eyes after baking?

They are made of sugar, so they will likely melt.

How do I stick on the candy eyes?

Use honey, mayo, ketchup, or edible glue.

My oven doesnโ€™t have a fan setting. What temperature shall I set it to?

220ยบC (428ยบF) in a conventional oven.
