Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 roll pizza dough homemade or store-bought
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce bright and tangy
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese gooey and bubbly
  • 1/4 cup black olives sliced for eyes
  • 1/2 cup bell peppers bright colors, sliced thinly
  • 8 slices pepperoni for a gory effect
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for drizzling

Equipment

  • Rolling pin
  • Baking sheet or pizza stone
  • Sharp knife or kitchen scissors
  • Pastry brush or small spoon

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) and place a baking sheet or pizza stone inside to heat up.
  2. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface until it’s about 30 cm in diameter, aiming for an even thickness. This helps the crust cook evenly and creates a crisp base.
  3. Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a piece of parchment paper or a floured pizza peel. Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce over the surface, leaving a 2 cm border around the edges for the crust.
  4. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly over the sauce, covering most of the surface with a gooey layer that will bubble and brown during baking.
  5. Decorate your spooky scene by placing sliced black olives as eyes, thinly sliced peppers as teeth or fangs, and pepperoni slices for a bloody effect. Use your sharp knife or scissors for precise shapes.
  6. Brush the crust edges lightly with olive oil using a pastry brush or spoon. This adds shine and helps the crust turn golden brown.
  7. Carefully slide the pizza (with parchment) onto the hot baking sheet or preheated pizza stone. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the crust is golden and crisp, and the cheese is bubbling and browned at the edges.
  8. Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes to settle. The aroma of melted cheese and baked toppings will fill the room.
  9. Drizzle a little olive oil over the top for added shine and flavor, then slice into pieces. Serve hot and enjoy the spooky, gooey delight!

Notes

Feel free to customize your spooky scene with additional toppings like cherry tomatoes, diced onions, or other colorful vegetables. Keep an eye on the pizza during baking to prevent burning, especially around the edges.
