Instructions
 

Preheat and Prepare:

  • Top with mozzarella cheese, chopped salami, baby spinach, and diced red capsicum, leaving the strips on the sides plain.

Wrap the Mummies:

Bake the Mummies:

  • Lightly spray the tops with olive oil.
    The pizza mummies, lightly sprayed with olive oil, are placed on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ready to be transferred into the oven on the white marble cooktop to bake until golden and crispy.
  • Place the prepared mummies on the baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the dough is golden and crispy.

Make the Olive Spiders:

  • While the mummies bake, cut green olives in half to form the spider "bodies."
  • Slice the remaining olive into thin pieces to form "legs."

Assemble and Serve:

  • Once the mummies are out of the oven, place two spooky edible eyes on each to complete the look.
