Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pack pizza dough store-bought or homemade
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese or your preferred melting cheese
  • 3 slices dough cut into thin strips for bandages
  • 8 pieces googly eyes or small black olives
  • to taste herbs and seasonings optional, for flavor

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Rolling pin

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Roll out the pizza dough onto a floured surface to your desired thickness, then transfer it onto the prepared baking sheet with a rolling pin for an even base.
  3. Spread a generous layer of shredded cheese evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving about a half-inch border around the edges.
  4. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake until the cheese is bubbly and golden, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  5. While the pizza bakes, cut the remaining dough slices into thin strips resembling bandages or wrappings.
  6. Once the cheese is melted and slightly golden, carefully remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a minute.
  7. Arrange the dough strips across the pizza in a crisscross pattern, covering most of the surface to resemble bandages wrapping a mummy.
  8. Place googly eyes—or small black olives—on each "mummy" to give it creepy, googly gaze.
  9. Optionally, sprinkle herbs or seasonings over the top for added flavor and aroma.
  10. Transfer the decorated pizza to the oven again and bake for an additional 2–3 minutes until the dough strips are slightly crispy and the eyes look embedded.
  11. Remove the pizza from the oven, slice, and serve while the cheese is still gooey and the bandages are crispy, perfect for a fun Halloween feast.

Notes

For a more authentic look, use small black olives as eyes instead of googly candies. Be creative with shapes and sizes to make your mummies more spooky!
