  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

Instructions
    Instructions
    Prepare the Dough
  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. If using refrigerated biscuits, separate them and gently flatten each one into a 4 inch circle using your hands or the bottom of a glass. If using refrigerated pizza dough, roll it out on a lightly floured surface and cut it into 8 equal circles before placing them on the baking sheet.
    2. Add the Sauce
  2. 2
    Brush the edges of each dough round with olive oil and sprinkle lightly with the Italian seasoning. Spread about 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce over each round, leaving a small border around the edge so the crust can become golden and tender during baking.
    3. Layer the Cheese
  3. 3
    Sprinkle a small amount of shredded mozzarella over each pizza to create a cheesy base. Pull the string cheese into thin strips, or slice it into narrow ribbons, then arrange the strips across the pizzas in different directions to resemble mummy bandages. Leave a small space near the top for the eyes.
    4. Add the Eyes
  4. 4
    Place 2 sliced black olives into the opening on each pizza to create the mummy's eyes. Finish by sprinkling the Parmesan evenly over the tops. The cheese may look slightly uneven at this stage, which helps create a fun mummy effect once baked.
    5. Bake the Pizzas
  5. 5
    Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, or until the biscuit dough is cooked through and lightly golden, or the pizza dough is crisp around the edges. The cheese should be fully melted, bubbly, and just beginning to brown.
    6. Cool and Serve
  6. 6
    Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the pizzas to cool for 2 to 3 minutes before serving. This short resting time helps the melted cheese set slightly, making the pizzas easier to pick up and enjoy.
Note

Refrigerated biscuit dough creates a soft, fluffy crust, while refrigerated pizza dough produces a crispier, more traditional pizza base.

Pulling the string cheese into strands instead of slicing it creates a more natural mummy wrapping effect.

Store leftover pizzas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheat in a 350°F oven or air fryer for 4 to 6 minutes until warmed through and the cheese is melted.

If the biscuit dough springs back while flattening, let it rest for 2 minutes before gently pressing it again. This makes it easier to shape without tearing.
