Food related to specific Halloween characters always works well, and this mummy-themed dish is no exception.
What You Need:
- 1 (1 lb.) loaf of frozen bread dough, thawed
- 3 pieces of string cheese
- 1 (16 oz.) container of sour cream
- 1 envelope of ranch dip mix
- 1 black olive
Instructions:
1. Allow the dough to rise according the directions on the package.
2. When the dough is ready, roll it out on a flat surface to form a 12 inch oval, with the narrower end at the bottom.
3. Form the mummy’s head by making an indentation on both sides of the oval, about one inch from the top.
4. Oil a baking sheet and place the dough onto the sheet.
5. Allow the dough to rise in a warm place for 20 minutes.
6. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
7. When the dough is ready, bake for 22 minutes or until it turns a golden brown.
8. Lay strips of the string cheese over the bread from the top to the bottom to create a bandaged effect.
9. Return the bread to the oven for two minutes or until the cheese has melted.
10. Place the dough on a wire rack to cool.
11. Place the sour cream into a mixing bowl.
12. Fold in the ranch dip mix until it is thoroughly blended.
13. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
14. When the dough has cooled, cut it in half horizontally. Remove the bread in the middle, to leave a 3/4 inch shell.
15. Place the bottom half of the bread onto a serving plate.
16. Fill the bottom half with the prepared dip.
17. Replace the top of the bread.
18. Cut two slices from the olive and place on the head to form the mummy’s eyes.
19. Cut the bread you removed into cubes, and serve with the dip along with fresh vegetables or crackers.
This mummy dip is an excellent centerpiece for your Halloween table. Any type of ranch dip mix can be used, such as regular or fiesta.
