Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (about 1 lb or 450 g) pizza dough, store-bought or homemade
- 8 oz (225 g) shredded mozzarella cheese (whole milk recommended)
- 20–25 pepperoni slices (optional)
- 1 cup (240 ml) marinara sauce, homemade or store-bought
- 1 large egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon water (egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil for brushing
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil mix)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Lightly flour your surface and roll the pizza dough into a roughly 12×12 inch (30×30 cm) square. Let rest for 5 minutes if needed.
- Cut two 1-inch (2.5 cm) thick strips along each side of the square, leaving a 6×6 inch (15×15 cm) center intact for the filling.
- Spread shredded mozzarella evenly in the center square. Add pepperoni slices if using. Season lightly with garlic powder and Italian herbs.
- Starting at one side, stretch and cross the dough strips over the filling, leaving little gaps to create the mummy look. Do not press too hard.
- Brush the mummy rolls all over with the egg wash for a golden, crispy finish.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes until the dough is crisp and golden and the cheese inside is bubbly. Watch closely after 15 minutes to avoid burning.
- While baking, gently warm the marinara sauce on low heat in a small saucepan, stirring occasionally.
- Let the mummy calzone rolls cool for 5 minutes before serving with warm marinara dipping sauce.
Notes
Keep dough strips about 1 inch wide to avoid burning. Brush with egg wash for a golden crust. Warm marinara sauce gently on low heat to avoid thickening. Assemble rolls just before baking to keep dough fresh. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven at 350°F for 8-10 minutes to maintain crispness.
