Pizza Skull Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Dough

    Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface until it's about 1/4 inch thick.

  3. 3

    Shape the Skull

    Transfer the rolled-out dough to a pizza stone or baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal. Use a skull-shaped mold or cut out a skull shape from the dough.

  4. 4

    Add Sauce and Cheese

    Spread a layer of pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese on top.

  5. 5

    Layer Pepperoni

    Place the pepperoni slices evenly over the cheese.

  6. 6

    Season and Brush

    Sprinkle Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt over the top. Drizzle olive oil around the edges of the dough.

  7. 7

    Bake the Pizza Skull

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

  8. 8

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the pizza skull to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your spooky creation!
