MUMMY CALZONE RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS
Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees.
Next, carefully roll the pizza dough out onto a large cookie sheet.
Our mummy calzone needs bandages, so cut strips on both long sides of the dough, leaving the center uncut.
Spoon pizza sauce down the center.
Add cheese, then add your favorite pizza toppings (cooked sausage, bacon, pepperoni, mushrooms etc), and more cheese!
Take the cut strips of dough and wrap the calzone beginning at the bottom, and make sure to slightly overlap the dough.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water.
Gently, brush the egg wash over the pizza dough. Bake until golden brown.
Remove the calzone from the oven and let rest.
To serve as a Mummy for Halloween, slice one black olive to make eyes and place it at the top of the calzone.
