Hy-Vee Recipes and Ideas

Directions

1. Step1

   Place oven racks in the upper and lower third of the oven. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. For adult mummies, unroll one pizza crust dough onto a lightly floured piece of parchment paper. Roll pizza crust into a 10x16-inch rectangle. Cut crust into 2 (10x8-inch) rectangles. Transfer dough pieces on parchment paper to a large baking sheet. Combine 1/2 cup mozzarella and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheeses in small bowl; divide in half. Place each portion down the center third of each dough piece, leaving a 1-inch border at the top and bottom of each dough piece. Top cheeses with desired optional add-ins; set aside.

2. Step2

   For kid mummies, unroll pizza crust dough onto another lightly floured piece of parchment paper. Roll one pizza crust into 10x16-inch rectangle. Cut crust into 4 (5x8-inch) rectangles. Transfer dough pieces on parchment paper to another large baking sheet. Combine remaining 1/4 cup mozzarella and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheeses in small bowl; divide in fourths. Place each portion down the center third of each dough piece, leaving 1-inch border at the top and bottom of each dough piece. Top cheeses with desired optional add-ins; set aside.

    

3. Step3

   Using a pizza cutter, make 1-inch-wide diagonal cuts along both long sides of each dough rectangles for adult mummies and 1/2-inch-wide diagonal cuts for the kid mummies, cutting from the dough edge to about 1/4-inch from filling mixture.

4. Step4

   Starting with strip at the top of one side of each rectangle, fold strip over filling; fold a strip from the other side over filling. Repeat with remaining strips, alternating sides and leaving last strips on alternating sides unfolded. Fold the last two strips up and over the filling; tuck ends underneath the mummy. Lightly pinch top and bottom of each mummy to ensure it is sealed.

5. Step5

   Brush each mummy with beaten egg. Add sliced olives for eyes.

6. Step6

   Bake mummies for 18 to 22 minutes or until crust is golden brown, switching baking sheets on oven racks halfway through. Serve with marinara dipping sauce, if desired.
