Keto Mummy Dogs

Low Carb Halloween Mummy Dogs Recipe

These adorable mummy dogs have to be on your table on Halloween night. They are so fun and easy to make. This is a recipe you can get your kids involved with – they’ll love wrapping the hot dogs with the fathead dough and putting on eyes after the mummy dogs are done baking. Mummy dogs are basically a bagel dog wrapped haphazardly in fathead dough to mimic a mummy’s wrap. Add some candy eyes or ketchup & mustard eyes to complete the look. I like to pack these in my kids’ lunchbox in the days leading up to October 31st. They love to get into the Halloween spirit and these low carb bagel dogs sure do put a smile on their face.

Grass-Fed All-Beef Hot Dogs

I prefer to get hot dogs that are 100% beef from grass-fed cows. These hot dogs contain more nutrients compared to regular hot dogs and don’t contain filler meats either. The brand that I like to use is by Teton Waters Ranch. I partnered with the folks at TWR to make this recipe but there are other brands that sell similar hot dogs at the grocery store. Or if you don’t want to use grass-fed hot dogs, just use regular hot dogs!

Fathead Dough

The dough that wraps around the hot dogs like mummy wrap is a fathead dough. This is my go-to dough recipe that I use to make pizza and my chicken pot pie turnovers. It’s easy to make and you can prep it ahead of time and freeze it. I usually have some fathead dough stored in my freezer. That way I can enjoy pizza or bagel dogs whenever I want. To wrap the hot dog like a mummy, I like to pinch off a little ball of dough about the size of a golf ball. Then roll it out into a very long thin snake. Next, I lay down the hot dog and start wrapping. The key to making these mummy dogs look like real mummies is to wrap in different directions and do some overlapping wraps.

Can I Make These Ahead of Time?

If you are making these for a Halloween party and want to prep ahead of time, good news – you can! I recommend assembling the mummy dogs one or two days before. Store them unbaked in the refrigerator. Then bake as instructed the day of. Now you and all the kids at your Halloween party will have freshly baked keto bagel dogs to enjoy!

Mummy Dog Toppings

I put little candy eyeballs on my mummy dogs. Yes, these eyeballs have sugar in them but you can pick them off and not eat them. That’s what I do. They are just for decoration. If you are 100% opposed to any kind of sugar on your plate, then use a little dab of mustard or ketchup for the eyes. Maybe even a small chunk of black olive would work too! The sugar-free ketchup I like to eat with my low-carb mummy dogs is by Primal Kitchens. Their ketchup is unsweetened with no added sugars.
