Description
Enjoy your spooky and delicious creation!
Ingredients
- Pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- Pizza sauce
- Sliced pepperoni
- Shredded mozzarella cheese
- Olive oil (optional, for brushing)
- Flour (for dusting)
- Cooked sausage or additional toppings (optional)
- Black olives (for decoration, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface. Ensure it’s about 1/4 inch thick. Set aside a small portion for facial features.
- Shaping the Skull: Using a sharp knife, shape the dough into a skull outline. This can be done freehand or by using a skull-shaped stencil. Use smaller pieces of dough to create eye sockets, nose, and teeth details on the skull. Optionally brush the dough with olive oil for a golden finish.
- Add Sauce and Pepperoni: Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over the dough, keeping the skull features clear. Place pepperoni slices on the eye sockets and across the skull for additional detail.
- Add Cheese and Additional Toppings: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the pizza, avoiding the eye sockets to maintain detail. Add any additional toppings or decorative olives to your liking.
- Bake the Pizza: Carefully transfer the prepared skull-shaped pizza onto a baking sheet or pizza stone. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
- Serving: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Slice and serve warm.
Notes
- Dough Details: For extra detail, gently poke holes in the dough for nostrils before baking.
- Crispy Crust: Bake on a preheated pizza stone for a crispier crust.
- Creative Additions: Get creative with additional ingredients like bell peppers for added color.
- Molding Features: Use a skull-shaped mold if available for a more defined shape.
