🍕 Ingredients (makes 2 medium pizzas or 6 mini pizzas)
-
1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
-
½ cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce
-
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (plus extra slices for ghosts)
-
6–8 slices of mozzarella or provolone cheese (for cutting ghost shapes)
-
Black olives or peppercorns (for ghost eyes)
-
Optional toppings: pepperoni, mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, or sausage
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Preheat Oven
-
Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
-
Line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper.
2. Shape the Dough
-
Roll out your pizza dough into a circle, rectangle, or even mini-pizzas.
-
Transfer to the prepared pan.
3. Add Sauce and Cheese
-
Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
-
Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese (this will be the background for your ghosts).
4. Make the Cheese Ghosts
-
Use a ghost-shaped cookie cutter (or a knife) to cut ghost shapes from mozzarella or provolone slices.
-
Place the cheese ghosts on top of the pizza.
-
Add small pieces of black olives or peppercorns for eyes.
5. Bake
-
Bake for 10–14 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted.
-
Watch closely near the end so the white “ghosts” stay pale and spooky-looking!
6. Serve
-
Slice and serve warm. Perfect for Halloween dinner or spooky movie night!
💡 Tips
-
Mini Ghost Pizzas: Make personal-sized ones using English muffins or flatbreads.
-
Creepy Extras: Add pepperoni “jack-o’-lantern” faces or olive “spiders” for more Halloween fun.
-
Ghost Glow: Brush a little olive oil on the ghost cheese before baking for a shiny “ghostly” effect.
-
Kid-Friendly: Let kids make their own ghosts and decorate their pizzas!
