Pizza Mummy
Pizza Mummy is a spooky homemade pizza with a yeasted bread dough base, tomato sauce and melting Edam cheese. Your TM7 heats the yeast mixture to the ideal temperature, kneads the dough and blends the garlic tomato sauce in minutes. A fun, family-friendly main course, especially popular at Halloween parties.
About this recipe
Pizza Mummy Thermomix TM7 is the Halloween recipe your family will ask for again: a freshly kneaded bread-dough base wrapped in cheesy bandages of Edam, with olives for eyes peeking out. Searching for pizza recipes for your all-in-one kitchen machine? This quick weeknight dinner or party main course proves how much the TM7 simplifies homemade pizza. The machine warms water and dried yeast to exactly the right activation temperature, then kneads strong bread flour into a smooth, elastic dough while you grease the bowl. Meanwhile the tinned chopped tomatoes, garlic clove and sea salt are blended into a velvety sauce in seconds. Layered with grated Edam and Parmesan, the mummy effect comes from arranging cheese strips over the tomato base. Every element, from yeast activation to sauce, is handled in one bowl, leaving you free to decorate with the kids and enjoy the spooky season without stress.
Preparation tips
- Let the kneaded dough rise in the oiled bowl until visibly doubled before shaping, as this gives the Pizza Mummy its light, airy crumb beneath the cheese bandages.
- Cut the Edam into long, even strips and drape them loosely across the tomato base so the sauce peeks through, creating the realistic mummy wrap effect after melting.
- Get children involved by letting them place olive eyes and arrange cheese strips; grate the Parmesan fresh in the TM7 for a sharper flavour that balances the mild Edam.
Recipe variations
- Lactose-free version: replace the Edam with a lactose-free melting cheese and swap Parmesan for a lactose-free hard cheese; the dough, containing only flour, water, yeast, oil and salt, stays naturally lactose-free.
- Festive variation: at Christmas, twist the cheese strips into a wreath shape with red pepper pieces as berries, or use the same dough and tomato base to spell out a name for birthday parties.
