Halloween Pizza Skulls

Ingredients

For the Dough:

• 1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)

For the Filling:

• 1 cup pizza sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup pepperoni slices (or your choice of toppings)
• 1/2 cup bell peppers, diced (optional)
• 1/4 cup black olives, sliced (optional)

For the Skull Shape:

• A skull-shaped cookie cutter (or a regular round one to create a spooky shape)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare the Dough:
   • Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick. Use the skull-shaped cookie cutter to cut out skull shapes from the dough.
3. Fill the Skulls:
   • Place half of the skull shapes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
   • Spread a spoonful of pizza sauce on each skull, then sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, followed by your choice of toppings. Leave a little space at the edges.
4. Top with Dough:
   • Place the remaining skull shapes on top of the filled ones and gently press the edges to seal. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for a better seal.
5. Bake:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
6. Cool and Serve:
   • Allow to cool slightly before serving. You can serve with extra pizza sauce for dipping!

Enjoy!
