Ingredients
  

  • 1 pack pizza dough store-bought or homemade
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese sliced
  • 4 pieces googly eyes for the spooky face
  • 2 cloves garlic minced

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Oven
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roll out the pizza dough onto a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle or circle, aiming for about 1/4 inch thickness.
  3. Transfer the shaped dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for about 8-10 minutes until just starting to turn golden and firm, then remove from oven.
  4. Spread the minced garlic evenly over the partially baked crust for added flavor, then sprinkle generously with shredded mozzarella cheese.
  5. Slice additional mozzarella cheese into thin strips and arrange them across the pizza in chaotic, bandage-like strips, wrapping around to resemble mummies.
  6. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 10-12 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden, and the crust is crisp around the edges.
  7. Remove the pizza from the oven and carefully place googly eyes onto the cheese, creating spooky faces or expressions for your mummies.
  8. Let the pizza cool for a few minutes until the cheese sets slightly, then slice and serve while still warm, displaying the fun, mummy-themed appearance.
