Main Ingredients
- 2 ciabatta rolls
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 1 zucchini
- 4 mozzarella string cheese
- 8 black olive slices
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F to get it ready for baking the pizzas.
- Prepare the bread and toppings: Slice the ciabatta rolls in half lengthwise. Use a vegetable peeler to create thin zucchini ribbons. Pull the mozzarella string cheese into thin strips.
- Assemble the pizzas: Place the sliced bread on a baking sheet and spread the pizza sauce evenly over each piece. Arrange zucchini ribbons across the bread in criss-cross patterns to resemble mummy bandages. Layer the cheese strips over the zucchini at different angles.
- Add the eyes: Put two slices of black olives on each piece of bread to create the mummy’s eyes.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the bread is toasted.
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve immediately for best taste and texture.
Notes
- This pizza is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven for the optimal combination of melted cheese and crispy bread.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
- You can substitute zucchini with thin slices of bell pepper or cooked bacon strips for different mummy bandage effects.
- Use whole wheat ciabatta for a healthier twist.
- For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce before baking.
