Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package store-bought pizza dough preferably soft and pliable
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce for spreading
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese for melting and bandages
  • 2 pieces small cooked sausage or pepperoni slices for eyes
  • 1 egg egg wash beaten, for brushing crust edges
  • to taste salt and pepper for seasoning

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Rolling pin
  • Cooking brush
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

  1. Unroll the pizza dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, shaping it into an oval or elongated form to resemble a wandering mummy.
  2. Spread a layer of tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
  3. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese all over the sauce, covering most of the surface and creating a bubbly, stretchy layer.
  4. Use a fork or your fingers to stretch some cheese and arrange it in squiggly lines across the pizza to mimic bandages wrapping the mummy.
  5. Bake the pizza in a preheated oven at 450°F (230°C) until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling, about 15-20 minutes.
  6. Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Then, carefully place small sausage or pepperoni slices on top for eyes—position them towards one end of the pizza to create a face.
  7. Gently press down the eyes so they stay in place as the pizza cools slightly, ensuring they are securely attached.
  8. Optional: Brush the crust edges lightly with beaten egg wash to give a shiny, golden finish.
  9. Slice the pizza into pieces and serve while the cheese is still warm, with the bandage cheese and cute eyes giving it a playful, spooky appearance.
