Description

Mini Halloween pizzas with crisp air-fried crusts, string cheese bandages and black olive eyes. Make them with pizza dough, English muffins or bagels.

Ingredients 

Crust

  • 1 pound pizza dough, store-bought or homemade
  • Flour, for dusting

Sauce and base

  • ½ cup pizza sauce
  • ½ cup shredded low-moisture mozzarella
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning, optional

Mummy decorations

  • 4 sticks mozzarella string cheese
  • 16 slices black olives

Instructions

  • Cut the crusts. Roll the dough to ¼ inch thick on a floured surface. Cut eight 4-inch rounds, re-rolling the scraps once.
  • Pre-bake. Place 2 or 3 rounds on parchment sized to your basket. Air fry at 320°F for 3 minutes, until just set. Repeat with the remaining rounds.
  • Add sauce and cheese. Spread about 1 tablespoon of sauce on each crust, leaving a ¼-inch border. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and about 1 tablespoon of shredded mozzarella, pressing it lightly into the sauce.
  • Bake. Air fry in batches at 350°F for 3 to 4 minutes, until the cheese bubbles and the edges are golden.
  • Wrap the mummies. Let the pizzas rest for 30 seconds. Peel the string cheese into thin strips and lay them across each pizza, leaving a gap near the top.
  • Add the eyes. Press 2 olive slices into each gap.
  • Final melt. Air fry at 320°F for 60 to 90 seconds, just until the bandages soften. Serve right away.

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • 4-inch round biscuit cutter
  • Rolling Pin
  • Parchment Paper

Notes

  • No dough: use 4 split English muffins or 8 mini bagel halves. Toast cut-side up at 350°F for 2 to 3 minutes, then follow steps 3 to 7.
  • Oven: bake the rounds at 425°F for 5 minutes, add sauce and cheese and bake 4 to 6 minutes more, then decorate and bake 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Eyes: candy eyes or small pepperoni rounds work in place of olives.
  • Make ahead: pre-bake the crusts up to 1 day ahead and store airtight at room temperature.
  • Storage: refrigerate up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 320°F for 2 to 3 minutes.
