Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound pre-made pizza dough look for fresh or frozen
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce preferably bright and tangy
  • 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded, for gooeyness
  • 1/4 cup black olives sliced, for creepy eyes
  • 4 slices pepperoni for spooky monsters or teeth
  • 1 bell pepper assorted colors sliced into ghostly or face shapes
  • 1 egg egg wash for shiny, golden crust

Equipment

  • Pizza stone or baking sheet
  • Rolling pin
  • Sharp knife or pizza cutter
  • Pastry brush

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface with a rolling pin until it’s about 12 inches in diameter, then transfer to your baking sheet or pizza stone.
  2. Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges for the crust.
  3. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce, covering it completely for a gooey, cheesy base.
  4. Cut the bell peppers into ghostly shapes or faces, and arrange them on the pizza for colorful, spooky decorations.
  5. Place slices of pepperoni onto the pizza to create spooky monsters or teeth, pressing them slightly into the cheese so they stay in place.
  6. Use sliced black olives to make creepy eyes by placing them on the pepperoni or cheese, creating a spooky face effect.
  7. Whisk the egg and brush it over the crust with a pastry brush to give your Halloween pizza a shiny, golden finish.
  8. Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.
  9. Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice into pieces with a pizza cutter or sharp knife, revealing your spooky decorations.
  10. Enjoy your creepy, delicious Halloween pizza with friends or family, marveling at your edible spooky art!
