Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ball pizza dough store-bought or homemade
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce rich and tangy
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 1/4 cup black olives sliced for eyes
  • 1 cup bell peppers assorted colors, sliced
  • 1/2 cup pepperoni slices for wounds or bites
  • to taste jalapeños optional, for spice

Equipment

  • Pizza stone or baking sheet
  • Rolling pin
  • Sharp knife or scissors
  • Oven thermometer

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F) and place your pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
  2. Gently flour your work surface and roll out the pizza dough into a rough rectangle about 12x16 inches, aiming for an even thickness.
  3. Transfer the dough onto a piece of parchment paper or a floured pizza peel for easy transfer to the hot surface.
  4. Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges for the crust.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the sauce, covering the surface with a bubbly layer of cheese.
  6. Decorate your spooky masterpiece by placing sliced black olives for eyes, bell peppers to form mouths or ghosts, and pepperoni slices for bloody wounds or wounds.
  7. Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated baking surface and bake for 12-15 minutes, until the crust turns golden and crispy, and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
  8. Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes, allowing the cheese to set slightly.
  9. If desired, add extra decorations or spicy jalapeños for an extra kick, then slice and serve your creepy Halloween pizza hot and crispy.

Notes

Feel free to get creative with your toppings—use ingredients to make faces, ghosts, or other spooky designs. Using a hot pizza stone helps achieve a crispier crust, and keep an eye on the edges to prevent burning.
