Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Rolling pin
  • Large skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound pizza dough
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 12 ounces Italian sausage, cooked and crumbled
  • 8 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut into thin strips
  • 4 black olives, halved

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 475 degrees and place a baking sheet inside to heat.
  • Roll the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle on parchment paper. Spread the pizza sauce evenly across the surface, leaving a small border around the edge.
  • Scatter the cooked sausage over the sauce in an even layer.
  • Lay the mozzarella strips across the sausage in overlapping rows to create a wrapped mummy pattern. Leave two small gaps near the top for the eyes.
  • Slide the parchment and pizza onto the hot baking sheet. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese has melted and browned in spots.
  • Remove from the oven and press the olive halves into the open gaps to form eyes. Let the pizza rest for two minutes before slicing.

Notes

Cut the mozzarella into even strips before you start so the bandages lie flat and melt at the same rate. If the sausage is very greasy, drain it well on paper towels first to keep the crust from becoming soggy. Leftovers reheat best in a 350-degree oven for five minutes to restore crisp edges.
