Shape the pizza bombs
Cut pizza dough into 8 equal squares. Add 15ml tomato sauce, 15g mozzarella, and 10g ham to each square. Fold corners to center and seal edges.
Create pumpkin shape
Wrap butcher's twine around each bomb to create 8 segments like a pumpkin. Place a basil leaf on top of each bomb.
Add pumpkin stems
Break pretzels in half and insert one piece into the top of each bomb as a stem. Brush with beaten egg.
