This is an overview of the recipe. The full instructions are below in the recipe card.
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F/177°C.

Step 7: Bake 15 to 18 minutes until golden brown and the cheese melts. Serve pizza mummies with more ranch for dipping.
Storage
Leftovers: Keep any leftovers in a covered airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Reheat in the microwave, following the manufacturer's instructions.
To reheat in the oven, preheat the oven to 350°F/ 177°C. Place the pizza on a baking tray and heat in the preheated oven until warmed through, about 5-6 minutes.
Make-ahead: Mummy pizzas can be prepared ahead of time. Keep them covered with plastic wrap in the fridge until ready to cook. Spray the plastic wrap with non-stick spray so it doesn't stick to the pizza cheese
Expert Tips
We suggest using a block of cheese and shredding the cheese by hand or a stand mixer with a cheese shredder attachment.
Pre-shredded cheese has a film on it that makes melting more difficult.
The extra effort is worth it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Use cooked shredded chicken. My family prefers chicken breasts but leftover chicken thighs can be used.
This is a great recipe to use leftover roasted chicken.
When it comes to pizza and adding sauce, less is always best.
The sauce will absorb into the dough so for best results, do not over-sauce the bread.
Variations
- Sauce: Use marinara sauce instead of ranch dressing as the base.
- Bread: Whole wheat baguette, Italian bread, or English muffins can be used instead of French bread.
- Leftover Rotisserie chicken works very well for this pizza.
- For variety and looking for a ghoulishly "green base" basil pesto or kale pesto would both be excellent choices to add on top of the ranch dressing.
