Mummy Pizza Bites

Mummy pizza bites are small, individual pizza crusts topped with cheese and pepperoni, designed to resemble little mummies with bandage-like strips. The pizzas are baked until the cheese is bubbly and golden, and the pepperoni is crispy around the edges, creating a fun, spooky-themed appetizer or snack. Their visual appearance is playful with cheese oozing out from beneath the pepperoni strips, mimicking mummy wrappings.

Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package pizza dough store-bought or homemade
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 20 slices pepperoni for wrapping the mummy bandages
  • to taste salt and pepper optional
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for brushing the crust

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • rolling pin
  • Knife
  • Measuring spoons

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use a round cutter or a glass to cut out small circles—about 3 inches in diameter.
  3. Transfer the dough circles onto your prepared baking sheet and brush the tops lightly with olive oil. This helps the crust turn golden and adds flavor.
  4. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over each dough circle, covering the surface but leaving a small border around the edges.
  5. Place a few slices of pepperoni in the center of each cheese-topped circle to create the 'head' of your mummy.
  6. Slice remaining pepperoni into thin strips to resemble mummy bandages. Carefully lay these strips diagonally over the cheese covering the edges and, if desired, crisscross over the 'mummy' head for a fun, wrapped effect.
  7. Bake the mini pizzas in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crisp and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm to enjoy the gooey cheese and crispy crust with your spooky, fun presentation.

Notes

For extra spooky effect, add small olive eyes or black sesame seeds on the pepperoni heads.
