Yummy Mummy Pizza is a whimsical meal for trick or treaters this Halloween. Prepared bread dough is another convenience product that I make no apologies for using. I love to bake from scratch, but occasionally it’s fine to eliminate the measuring of flour and kneading of dough to get something creative on the table fast. I use these doughs, which are found in the supermarket freezer section, to make herbed dinner rolls, quick morning cinnamon buns and the occasional holiday-themed treat or centerpiece.
Yummy Mummy Pizza
Yield: 6 servings
1 loaf prepared frozen bread dough, such as Rhodes brand, thawed but still cold
1 cup grated mozzarella cheese, or to taste
1 cup ricotta cheese or to taste
3/4 cup pizza sauce, or to taste
Favorite pizza toppings of choice (sliced mushrooms, chopped pepperoni, crumbled Italian sausage, etc.)
1 large egg, beaten
1. Roll dough into a tall, rounded pyramid shape and cut slits all around the outside edges. Divide cheese, sauce and toppings in the middle of each piece of dough.
2. At the wide end of the pyramid, lift up the large triangle and tuck the edges behind, before rounding them to form the head. Weave the cut strips over the toppings, one at a time, covering the ends with the last strip. This will hold them in place. Fold the two slits on the narrow bottom into the middle and roll the whole piece up, tucking it under the last woven strip. Press it down firmly to keep it from coming unrolled. Clip it in half and pull it slightly apart to form the feet.
3. Brush the “mummy” parcel with egg and let rise for 15-30 minutes. Bake at 350F for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
Recipe note: Let your little ghosts and goblins personalize their “mummy” pizzas by dividing the dough into 6 pieces and create small “mummy” parcels filled with only the ingredients they prefer.
