Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 roll pizza dough store-bought or homemade
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese preferably fresh
  • 20 slices pepperoni slices for bandage wrapping
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for brushing crust
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs optional, for added flavor

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Rolling pin

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the pizza dough into a large circle or oval shape, about 12 inches in diameter.
  2. Transfer the rolled dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the edges of the crust with olive oil to help it crisp and develop a golden color during baking.
  3. Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the entire surface of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
  4. Arrange slices of pepperoni on top of the cheese to mimic the look of bandages winding around the mummy. Overlap and scatter slices to cover the cheese surface.
  5. Sprinkle dried Italian herbs over the top for extra flavor and visual appeal, if using.
  6. Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.
  7. Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes. Use extra pepperoni slices to create additional bandages or detailing if desired to enhance the mummy look.
  8. Slice the mummy pizza into wedges, revealing the cheesy, bandaged appearance, and serve immediately for a fun and spooky meal.

Notes

For an even more festive touch, add olive eyes or tiny edible decoration for added spooky detail.
