Instructions
 

Preheat and Prepare:

  • On each piece, make horizontal slices along the sides to form strips, leaving the center intact for the toppings.

Add Toppings:

  • Spread a heaping teaspoon of pizza sauce in the center of each dough rectangle.
  • Top with mozzarella cheese, chopped salami, baby spinach, and diced red capsicum, leaving the strips on the sides plain.

Wrap the Mummies:

  • Fold the strips over the filling, alternating sides to create an "X" or criss-cross pattern, resembling mummy bandages.

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.
  • Arrange the olive spiders around the mummies for a fun and spooky presentation.
  • Dust the mummies with a little flour for an extra "mummy-like" effect, if desired.
