Pizza Mummies Recipes

FRENCH BREAD PIZZA MUMMIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F.
• Cut the bread in half lengthwise, then cut each half crosswise in 2 pieces to give you 4 pieces total. Slice the cheese into strips.
• Place the bread, cut side up on a baking sheet. Spread 1/4 cup of marinara sauce on each piece.
• Place 2 slices of olives on each pizza to make eyes. Randomly lay out the mummy cheese strips over the sauce. Bake in the center rack until the cheese is melted and bubbling, and the bread is crisp, about 8 minutes.

JIM LAHEY'S NO-KNEAD PIZZA MARGHERITA

Steps:

• To make dough: In a large bowl, mix the flour, yeast, and salt. Add water and stir until blended (the dough will be very sticky). Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 12 to 24 hours in a warm spot, about 70 degrees.
• Place the dough on a lightly floured work surface and sprinkle the top with flour. Fold the dough over on itself once or twice, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and let rest for 15 minutes.
• Shape the dough into 3 or 4 balls, depending on how thick you want the crust. Generously sprinkle a clean cotton towel with flour and cover the dough with it. Let the dough rise for 2 hours.
• To make sauce: Blanch tomato for 5 seconds in boiling water and quickly remove. Allow to cool to the touch. Peel the skin with your hands and quarter the tomato. Remove the jelly and seeds, and reserve in a strainer or fine sieve. Strain the jelly to remove seeds, and combine resulting liquid in a bowl with the flesh of the tomatoes. Proceed to crush the tomatoes with your hands. Add salt and olive oil and stir.
• To make pizza: Place pizza stone on the middle rack of the oven and preheat on high broil. Stretch or toss the dough into a disk approximately 10 inches in diameter. Pull rack out of oven and place the dough on top of the preheated pizza stone. Drizzle 5 generous tablespoons of sauce over the dough, and spread evenly. Try to keep the sauce about ½ inch away from the perimeter of the dough. Break apart or slice the buffalo mozzarella and arrange over the dough. Return rack and pizza stone to the middle of the oven and broil for approximately 6 minutes. Remove and top with basil, olive oil, and salt.

PIZZA MUMMIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Cut the sheet of pizza dough in half lengthwise then into 7 rectangles. You should have 14 rectangles in total. Cut 6 rectangles into thin strips. You should have 8 whole rectangles and 6 rectangles cut into thin strips.
• Place the 8 "whole" rectangles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread pizza sauce on them, leaving some border around the edges.
• Place the toppings on top of the sauce. Sliced olives as 'eyes' and cut into smaller pieces pepperoni/salami (or other toppings of your choice).
• Place sliced into thin strips cheese on top, then arrange the remaining strips of pizza dough on top creating 'bandages'.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the dough is lightly golden.
• Leave to cool then enjoy!
