Ingredients
  

  • 1 pack pizza dough store-bought or homemade
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 50 g pepperoni slices
  • 1 tsp olive oil optional for brushing crust

Equipment

  • Pizza baking sheet or stone
  • Rolling pin
  • Baking paper or parchment
  • Knife

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a large circle or rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick. Transfer it carefully onto your prepared baking sheet.
  3. Spread a thin, even layer of pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
  4. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce, covering the entire surface.
  5. Use your fingers or a knife to carefully cut the pepperoni slices into strips. Arrange these strips in a loose bandage pattern across the cheese to resemble bandages of a mummy, leaving some gaps for "eyes" if desired.
  6. If you like, lightly brush the crust edges with olive oil to give it a crisp and golden appearance when baked.
  7. Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
  8. Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly for a few minutes. Slice into pieces, revealing the gooey cheese and playful pepperoni bandages.
  9. Serve hot, enjoying the crispy crust and cheesy topping with fun mummy-like pepperoni decorations.
