Halloween Mummy Pizza Recipe
Equipment
- Large Baking Sheet
- Baking paper or parchment paper
- Rolling Pin
- Pizza cutter or sharp knife
- Pastry brush (for olive oil spray)
- Oven
- Small knife (for cutting olives)
- Measuring spoons (optional, for portioning ingredients)
Ingredients
- 500 g store-bought pizza dough
- 8 heaped teaspoons pizza sauce
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Heat treated flour to dust*
- ½ cup salami chopped
- ½ cup diced red capsicum bell pepper
- ¼ cup baby spinach chopped
- 16 spooky eyes
- 8-10 green olives
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C/350°F and line a large baking sheet with baking paper.
- Cut and roll out the pizza dough into 8 rectangles. Slice the sides of each rectangle horizontally to create thin strips.
- Spread pizza sauce in the center of each rectangle, then top with mozzarella, salami, baby spinach, and capsicum, leaving the strips on the sides plain.
- Fold the dough strips over the toppings to form an X pattern, resembling mummy bandages, and gently press them in place.
- Lightly spray the tops with olive oil and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the dough turns golden.
- For the spider garnish, cut one olive in half for the “body” and slice another into thin rounds to make “legs.”
- Arrange the pizza mummies on a plate, dust with a little flour for a spooky look, and add edible eyeballs.
- Place the olive “spiders” around the mummies and serve with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
