- 15 olives (without pits)
Preparation
Mix the tomato sauce with salt, pepper, sugar and the herb mixture. Also add the garlic clove to the tomato sauce through the garlic press and mix.
Use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut out circles from the dough. You can also use different sized jars, then you will have different sized pizza mummies at the end.
Spread the tomato sauce over the pastry.
Slice the olives and spread them on the pastry circles as the eyes of the mummies.
Cut the cheese into strips and place them on the round pizza mummies to make a nice criss-cross pattern. You can adjust the length of the strips as you like.
