Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
- 24–30 small pepperoni slices
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce or marinara (for dipping)
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (for garnish)
- Fresh parsley or basil, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll crescent roll dough onto a clean surface. If using perforated triangles, press seams together to form a solid sheet.
- Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut dough into long strips about 1/2 inch wide (12-14 strips).
- Take one strip of dough. Spread about 1 teaspoon of pizza sauce down the center. Sprinkle a generous pinch of mozzarella on top. Place two pepperoni slices at one end for eyes.
- Fold the dough over the filling, wrapping loosely like a bandage, leaving the pepperoni eyes exposed. Tuck the end underneath to secure. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining strips.
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter with garlic powder and salt. Brush the butter mixture over each mummy.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown and cheese is bubbly.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with Parmesan and fresh parsley. Serve warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
Notes
Keep dough cold for easier handling. Don’t overfill to prevent bursting. For vegetarian version, use black olive or red bell pepper slices for eyes. For gluten-free, use gluten-free crescent roll dough. For dairy-free, use dairy-free mozzarella and plant-based butter.
