Ingredients
Pizza Base
- 1 pre-made pizza crust
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Ghost Toppings
- 6 slices of mozzarella cheese (for ghost shapes)
- Black olives, sliced (for eyes)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven according to the instructions on your pizza crust package, generally to about 425°F (220°C).
- Prepare the Pizza Base:
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the surface of the pre-made pizza crust to form the base layer.
- Add the Cheese:
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauced crust to cover it well.
- Bake the Pizza:
Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
- Create Ghost Shapes:
While the pizza bakes, cut ghost shapes out of the mozzarella cheese slices using a ghost-shaped cookie cutter or by freehand to form the ghost figures.
- Assemble the Ghosts:
Once the pizza is baked, carefully place the ghost-shaped mozzarella slices on top of the warm pizza so they begin to slightly melt and adhere.
- Add the Eyes:
Finish by adding two olive slices onto each ghost to create the eyes, giving your Halloween pizza its spooky character.
Notes
- You can substitute the pre-made pizza crust with homemade dough if desired.
- If you don’t have a ghost-shaped cookie cutter, you can draw and cut ghost shapes freehand with a knife.
- Serve immediately for best taste and texture as the ghost cheese will soften over time.
- Consider adding other toppings if preferred, but keep them minimal to preserve the ghost design.
