Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pre-made or homemade pizza dough enough for a 12-inch pizza
  • 1 cup cup shredded mozzarella cheese for topping
  • 1/4 cup cup pizza sauce spread over crust
  • 4 large hot dogs for mummy bandages
  • tape double-sided tape or edible

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Oven
  • Kitchen scissors
  • Rolling pin
  • Baking parchment or a silicone baking mat

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle, then transfer it to a baking sheet lined with parchment or a silicone mat.
  2. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce, covering the entire surface.
  3. Place the pizza in the oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned. Meanwhile, slice the hot dogs into thin strips to resemble mummy bandages.
  4. Remove the baked pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly for 2-3 minutes. Arrange the hot dog strips in strips across the pizza, leaving space for 'eyes' to be added later.
  5. Using scissors, cut small pieces of tape to mimic bandage strips. Carefully attach these to the hot dog strips to create a wrapped, mummy-like appearance. Alternatively, if using edible strips, place them directly onto the hot dogs.
  6. Optionally, add two small dots of cheese or olives as eyes at the head of the mummy for a spooky effect. Serve the pizza warm and enjoy its playful look and cheesy aroma.

Notes

Ensure the tape is food-safe if using edible tape. Adjust baking time if your crust is thicker or thinner. For a fun variation, decorate with additional Halloween-themed toppings.
