Ingredients for Mummy Pizza

Here’s everything you need to make your own mummy pizzas:

• 2 sandwich rolls, cut in half
• 1 tbsp butter, melted
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 cup marinara sauce
• 12 slices of pepperoni
• 3 pieces string cheese, pulled apart into strips
• 8 candy eyes (or substitute with olives)

Tools You’ll Need

• Baking sheet
• Basting brush
• Small knife (for cutting the rolls)
• Oven mitts

Step-by-Step Guide to Making Mummy Pizzas

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) so that it’s ready for toasting the bread and melting the cheese.

2. Prepare the Bread

Cut your sandwich rolls in half and place them face up on a baking sheet. Brush the tops with melted butter using a basting brush.

3. Season and Toast

Sprinkle the garlic powder evenly over the buttered rolls. Pop the tray into the oven for 5 minutes to toast the bread until it’s slightly golden.

4. Create the Cheese “Bandages”

While the bread is toasting, pull apart your string cheese into thin strips. These will be used to mimic mummy bandages on top of the pizza.

Once the bread is toasted, remove it from the oven. Spread a generous layer of marinara sauce on each piece. Place three slices of pepperoni on each roll half, then lay the string cheese strips on top, crisscrossing them to resemble mummy wrappings.

6. Bake Until Cheese Melts

Place the baking tray back in the oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the pizzas look spooky and delicious.

7. Add the Eyes

Once your pizzas are out of the oven, add the candy eyes (or olive slices if you prefer) on top to complete the mummy faces. Serve them warm and enjoy!

Tips for the Perfect Mummy Pizza

• Switch up the cheese: If you don’t have string cheese, shredded mozzarella works well too. Just be sure to arrange it so it looks like mummy bandages!
• Alternative toppings: Not a fan of pepperoni? Feel free to use turkey pepperoni, ham, mushrooms, or even bell peppers as your toppings.
• Make it spooky with olives: If you’d rather skip the candy eyes, black or green olives cut into circles make excellent, savory mummy eyes.
• Add extra seasoning: For more flavor, sprinkle Italian seasoning on top of the marinara sauce before adding the cheese and pepperoni.

Storing Your Mummy Pizzas

If you find yourself with leftovers (though they usually disappear quickly!), you can store them easily:

• Refrigerate: Place the cooled mummy pizzas in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, bake in the oven at 350°F until warmed through.
• Freezing: While freezing isn’t recommended due to changes in bread texture, you can prepare the pizzas ahead of time and store them unbaked. Simply bake them fresh when you’re ready to enjoy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these pizzas ahead of time?

What if I don’t have sandwich rolls?

You can use English muffins, mini naan bread, or even sliced baguette as a substitute for sandwich rolls.

Can I make them vegetarian?

Absolutely! Swap the pepperoni for veggies like mushrooms, spinach, or bell peppers to create a delicious vegetarian version.
