Pizza Skull Ingredients

Method

Pizza Skull Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    Add olive oil, salt, and flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.

    Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
