Yummy Mummy

1 loaf of bread dough, thawed but still cold
Grated cheese
Pizza sauce and toppings
1 egg, beaten
Olive slices (optional)

1. Roll out dough into a tall, rounded pyramid shape. Cut slits all around the outside as shown, leaving a large triangle at the top.		2. Layer the cheese, sauce and toppings in the middle. At the wide end of the pyramid, lift up the large triangle and tuck the edges behind.
3. Round the edges to form the mummy's head. Press in two olive slices for the eyes, if desired.		4. Weave the strips over the toppings, one at a time.
5. Fold the last two slits into the middle. Roll the bottom piece up then tuck it under the last two woven strips.		6. Clip the folded piece in half then slightly pull apart. Brush the mummy with egg and let it rise for 15 minutes. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes at 350 degrees or until light brown.
