Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Mummies
- 500g store-bought pizza dough
- 8 heaped teaspoons pizza sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup salami, chopped
- 1/4 cup baby spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup diced red capsicum (bell pepper)
- Olive oil spray
- Heat treated flour, to dust*
Spooky Eyes & Spiders
- 16 spooky edible eyes
- 8-10 green olives
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a large baking sheet with baking paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Prepare Dough Rectangles: Cut and roll the pizza dough into 8 rectangular pieces. Slice horizontal strips on both sides of each rectangle to create the ‘bandage’ effect.
- Assemble Fillings: Spread a heaped teaspoon of pizza sauce in the center of each rectangle. Top with shredded mozzarella, chopped salami, baby spinach, and diced red capsicum, keeping the sliced strips plain for wrapping.
- Form Mummy Shape: Gently pull the dough strips over the filling from each side, pressing lightly to create an overlapping X pattern resembling mummy bandages.
- Add Olive Oil and Bake: Spray the top of each mummy with olive oil for a golden finish. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the dough is lightly golden and cooked through.
- Create Olive Spiders: While mummies bake, cut green olives in half to form spider bodies. Slice remaining olives thinly across to make legs and assemble around the mummies for a spooky touch.
- Final Touches and Serve: Once baked, place pizza mummies on a serving plate, dust lightly with heat treated flour to enhance the mummy look, and top with edible spooky eyes. Serve with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
