Ingredients

• 27.6 ounces refrigerated pizza dough (about 2 cans, 13.8 ounces each)
• ¼ pound pepperoni
• ¼ pound hard salami
• 9 slices provolone cheese
• 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• ½ cup sliced pepperoncini peppers
• ⅓ cup grated Parmesan
• 2 tablespoons salted butter, melted
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
• Black food coloring
• 2 candy, googly, or toy eyeballs
• Marinara or pizza sauce for dipping

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Roll out pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about 12×16 inches.
3. Layer pepperoni, salami, provolone, mozzarella, and pepperoncini peppers down the center of the dough, leaving edges clear for wrapping. Sprinkle Parmesan over the top.
4. Fold the long sides of the dough over the filling, then tuck in the ends and roll gently to seal, forming a mummy shape.
5. Using a knife or kitchen scissors, cut small strips along the top to resemble mummy bandages. Gently lift and twist some strips for a realistic effect.
6. Brush melted butter over the dough and sprinkle with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and red pepper flakes.
7. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown and cheese is melted.
8. After baking, add black food coloring lines with a small brush to enhance the mummy look. Place candy or toy eyeballs in the open area to complete the mummy face.
9. Serve warm with marinara or pizza sauce for dipping.

Servings and Timing

• Servings: 6–8 slices
• Prep time: 15–20 minutes
• Bake time: 20–25 minutes

Variations

• Add cooked sausage or other favorite deli meats for extra flavor.

Storage

FAQs

Can I make this vegetarian?
Yes! Replace pepperoni and salami with roasted vegetables, mushrooms, or plant-based deli slices.

Do I need candy or toy eyeballs?
Candy eyeballs are edible and fun, but small toy eyeballs or drawn-on eyes with food coloring work too.

Can I prep this ahead of time?
Assemble the stromboli and refrigerate for a few hours before baking. Brush with butter just before baking for best results.

How do I make the mummy “bandages” look realistic?
Cut strips along the top and lift slightly with a knife or spatula. Twisting a few strips adds dimension and realism.
