Halloween Mummy Stromboli Dinner

This spooky stromboli is packed with Italian deli meats, gooey cheese and bold seasonings. Wrapped like a mummy in strips of pizza dough, it makes a fun Halloween dinner. Dip each slice in marinara for a flavorful and festive bite.

📝 Ingredients

• 2 Cans pizza dough (refrigerated, I used Pillsbury)
• 1/4 Pound pepperoni
• 1/4 Pound salami (hard)
• 1/2 Pound smoked deli ham (off the bone)
• 1 Slice provolone
• 1 1/2 Cups mozzarella (shredded)
• 1/2 Cup pepperoncini peppers (sliced )
• 1/3 Cup parmesan (grated)
• 2 Tablespoons salted butter (melted)
• 1/2 Teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 Teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1/4 Teaspoon salt
• 1/4 Teaspoon red pepper flakes
• food coloring (black)
• 2 candy eyeballs (googly or toy)
• 1/4 Cup pizza sauce (or marinara, for dipping )

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Preheat the oven to 385°F.
2. 2Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and set aside.
3. 3press: On a clean surface lay out one of the pizza doughs and press into a square that's about 14 x 14 inches. Depending on your work surface, it may help to lightly spray with oil before laying the dough out.
4. 4Layer the slices of meat onto the dough by starting with a layer of pepperoni, then a layer of hard salami - making sure to fill in any holes - and last a layer of the ham.
5. 5add: On top of the meat, add a layer of provolone, then sprinkle the sliced pepperoncini, and top with the mozzarella. Finish the layers off with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese, reserving about a tablespoon of the parmesan cheese to use later.
6. 6roll: Starting on the end closest to you, roll the stromboli tightly into a log. Crimp all the seams and edges together. Transfer the stromboli to the prepared baking sheet (no need to grease if it is lined with parchment) lay the stromboli seam side down.
7. 7brush: In a small bowl mix the melted butter, garlic powder, italian seasoning, salt, red pepper flakes, and black food coloring. Brush the black butter mixture all over the tops and sides of the stromboli. Sprinkle the top with the remaining parmesan cheese.
8. 8cut: Open the second roll of pizza dough and cut 1-inch thick slices using a knife or a pair of scissors, the strips should be long enough to lay across the stromboli.
9. 9crisscross: Lay the strips of dough across the stromboli, crisscrossing as you go to make the appearance of a mummy. Leave a little space between the strips towards the top of the stromboli to place the eyes later.
10. 10tuck: Carefully tuck the ends of the strips under the stromboli using your finger or a butter knife. For a nice golden top you can very lightly spray the stromboli with little oil.
11. 11Bake the stromboli in the preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes. If the top begins to brown too fast, tent the top of the stromboli with a sheet of aluminum foil.
12. 12cool: Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes, then place the eyeballs onto the stromboli before serving.
13. 13Serve with marinara or pizza sauce for dipping
