Main Ingredients
- 2 ciabatta rolls
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 1 zucchini
- 4 mozzarella string cheese sticks
- 8 black olive slices
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it is hot and ready for baking your pizzas.
- Prepare the bread and toppings: Slice the ciabatta rolls in half lengthwise. Using a vegetable peeler, create thin ribbons from the zucchini. Pull the mozzarella string cheese into thin strips to mimic bandages.
- Assemble the pizzas: Place the ciabatta halves on a baking sheet. Spread an even layer of pizza sauce over each piece of bread. Arrange the zucchini ribbons across the bread in criss-cross patterns to simulate mummy bandages. Then, layer the mozzarella strips over the zucchini at various angles for the cheesy mummy effect. Finally, add two black olive slices to each pizza to create the mummy’s eyes.
- Bake the pizzas: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the bread is nicely toasted.
- Serve immediately: Remove from the oven and serve the mummy pizzas hot for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For a crispier crust, toast the ciabatta rolls lightly before adding toppings.
- You can substitute zucchini ribbons with thin strips of yellow squash for a different color effect.
- Use gluten-free ciabatta rolls to make this recipe gluten-free.
- Leftover mummy pizzas can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat leftovers in the oven or toaster oven to retain crispiness instead of a microwave.
