📝 Instructions

These are partial instructions on how to make the Halloween Party Pizzas. The complete instructions are in the recipe card below.

Before starting on any of the spooky Halloween pizzas ideas. Roll out the dough and spread pizza sauce over it.

• Spread 2 Tablespoons of pizza sauce onto the surface of the pizza round.
• Follow the directions for making each spooky Halloween character and then..
• Lightly sprinkle some cornmeal on the pizza peel or the back of a baking sheet. The cornmeal makes it easier to slide the pizza onto the stone.

🎃 Jack-O-Lantern

For each Jack-O-Lantern pizza:

1. Sprinkle one-half cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the pizza round that's been slathered with pizza sauce.
2. Cut 3 pieces of pepperoni into triangle shapes and place on the mini-pizzas as the eyes and nose.
3. Cut off the top of a bell pepper to form the stem of the Jack-O-Lantern.
4. Create the mouth by using a piece of bell pepper cut in a jagged shape.

🕷 Spiders

For each pizza with spiders:

1. Sprinkle one-half cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the pizza sauced dough.
2. cut a black olive in half lengthwise to form the body of the spider.
3. Slice the second half o the olive across the width in 6 pieces to form the legs.
4. Assemble the spider on the pizza and repeat for as many spiders as you would like.

🙀 Ghosts

For the ghost pizza:

1. Using a ghost-shaped cookie cutter, but out 6 ghost shapes from the sliced mozzarella cheese.
2. Add 3 to the pizza. Save three for adding after the pizza has been cooked. The 3 extra are in the event the cheese spreads too much so you add these on top for definition.
3. Use a small round piping tip to cut circle shapes from a lack olive for the eyes.
4. Arrange the eyes on the ghosts.

👻 Mummy

For the mummy pizza:

1. Add 2 green olives with pimentos intact to the top middle of the pizza sauced covered dough round. This is where you'd like the mummy eyes to be.
2. Slice the mozzarella slices into strips and place on the pizza with the sauce showing.
3. Cut additional strips to add immediately to the pizza when it comes out of the oven. Some cheese melts faster than others and the mummy may lose the shape of the bandages.
4. Place the additional slices on top of the melted ones to define the bandages on the pizza.

👩🏻‍🍳 Tips

Expert tip: It's important that you get mozzarella cheese and NOT the processed cheese. The processed variety will not melt like it should on the Halloween mini pizzas

• Pay attention to the Mummy and Ghost Pizzas to add additional cheese if the design spreads after baking. You can also substitute buffalo mozzarella - it tends to hold its shape better in the oven.
• Halloween night can be very busy for families. Consider making the pizzas in advance and freezing them. Add a few minutes to the baking time.
• In a time crunch solution, purchase frozen mini pizzas and decorate them.
• Halloween party activity -- pizzas would be fun for kids and adults to make themselves. Pre-cut toppings and allow their imaginations to run wild.
• If you don't have a pizza peel, use the back of a cookie sheet to slide the pizzas onto the stone.
• If you don't have a stone - bake the Halloween mini pizzas on the back of a cookie sheet.
