Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment paper (optional)
- Rolling Pin
- Cookie cutters (round or Halloween shapes)
- pizza cutter or knife
- Small bowls for toppings
- Measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 1 package pizza dough pre-made or homemade
- 1 jar pizza sauce your favorite flavor
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup sliced black olives
- ¼ cup sliced pepperoni or other pizza toppings
- 2 sticks string cheese
- ¼ green bell pepper
- ¼ red bell pepper
- All-purpose flour, for dusting
- Olive oil or cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line with parchment paper.
- If using pre-made dough, roll it out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. If using homemade dough, roll it out similarly.
- Use a cookie cutter (round or Halloween shape) to cut out mini pizza circles. You should get about 12-16 mini pizzas from one package of dough.
- Place the mini pizza circles onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce onto each mini pizza.
- Sprinkle a generous amount of mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
- Decorate the mini pizzas with your desired spooky designs. Here are some ideas:
- Spiderweb Pizza: Use sliced black olives to create a spiderweb design. Place a single black olive in the center as the spider.
- Mummy Pizza: Cut string cheese into thin strips and arrange them across the pizza to resemble mummy bandages. Leave a small space for the eyes. Use tiny pieces of black olive or green pepper for the eyes.
- Ghost Pizza: Cut mozzarella cheese into ghost shapes using a cookie cutter or a knife. Place the cheese ghosts on top of the pizza. Use small pieces of black olive for the eyes and mouth.
- Jack-o'-Lantern Pizza: Use pepperoni slices or red bell pepper to create the face of a Jack-o'-Lantern.
- Witch's Hat Pizza: Use a green bell pepper to cut out a witch's hat shape. Place it on top of the pizza, along with some black olive slices for decoration.
- Monster Mash Pizza: Combine different toppings like pepperoni, olives, and bell peppers to create a monstrously fun design.
- Eyeball Pizza: Use a slice of mozzarella cheese as the base, then top with a green olive stuffed with a pimento to resemble an eyeball.
- Bake the Spooky Halloween Mini Pizzas for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
