– 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1 cup cooked and chopped pepperoni or your choice of meat
– ½ cup ricotta cheese

Instructions
Creating Mummy Stromboli is simple and can be done in a few easy steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Roll Out Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle, about 12×16 inches.
3. Prepare Filling: In a bowl, mix mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, ricotta cheese, Italian seasoning, olive oil, and a pinch of salt.
4. Spread Filling: Spread the filling evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
5. Roll Up Dough: Starting from one edge, gently roll the dough tightly to form a log. Pinch the ends to seal.
6. Shape Mummy: Place the rolled dough seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Cut strips from the top of the dough towards the center to create “bandages.”
7. Apply Egg Wash: Beat the egg and brush it over the entire roll, including the strips.
8. Add Eyes: If using black olives for eyes, place them in the center of the dough near one end.
9. Bake: Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
10. Cool and Serve: Allow the Stromboli to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Pair with marinara sauce for dipping.
Following these steps will lead you to create a delicious Mummy Stromboli that not only tastes amazing but also looks fantastic!
