Yummy Mummy Calzones

Family favorite pizza toppings are the not-so-spooky surprise inside these clever calzones from our Test Kitchen. If you serve these on wood "coffins" like we did, be sure to line the surface with plastic wrap or waxed paper.

8-10 ServingsPrep: 20 min. Bake: 30 min.

Ingredients

2 loaves (1 pound each) frozen bread dough, thawed
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup pizza sauce
50 slices pepperoni
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 pitted ripe olive, sliced and cut in half

Directions

Roll out each piece of dough into a rounded triangle shape, about
14-in. high x 11-in. wide at the base of the triangle. Place each on
a parchment-lined baking sheet with the tip of the triangle toward
you. Lightly score 4-in.-wide rectangle in the center of the
triangle 2 in. from the top and bottom.
On each long side, cut 1-in.-wide strips at an angle up to the score
line, leaving a triangle in the top center of the wide end for the
head.
Inside the scored rectangle in the center, layer the cheese, pizza
sauce, pepperoni and green pepper. Shape the top center triangle
into a head. Starting at the head, fold alternating strips of dough
at an angle across filling stopping at the last strip on each side.
Fold the bottom dough tip up over the filling, then fold the
remaining two strips over the top; press down firmly.
Brush dough with egg. Cover and let rise for 15 minutes. For eyes,
