Ingredients

1 package Prepared Pizza Dough (essential for a sturdy base and delightful texture)
1 cup Pizza Sauce (adds moisture and tangy flavor)
8 slices Mozzarella Cheese (use vegan cheese for a dairy-free option)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface until you achieve a rectangle about ¼-inch thick. Cut out approximately 8 mini pizzas.
Step 3: Place the mini pizza rounds onto the lined baking sheet and spread pizza sauce evenly on each one.
Step 4: While the pizzas bake for 8-10 minutes, cut ghost shapes out of the mozzarella cheese slices.
Step 5: Once the pizzas are light golden and sizzling, add the ghost cheese shapes on top and return to the oven for another 4-5 minutes.
Step 6: Remove the pizzas when the cheese is just melted. Let them cool slightly before serving.

Tips & Variations

For extra spooky eyes, add small pieces of black olives or peppercorns onto the ghost cheese.
Use your favorite pizza sauce flavor or add a sprinkle of Italian herbs to the sauce for more depth.
Swap mozzarella for a dairy-free cheese to make the recipe vegan-friendly.

Storage

Store leftover mini ghost pizzas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes until heated through and the cheese is melted again.

How to Serve

Three small round pizzas sit on a wooden board with a gray cloth underneath, on a white marbled surface. Each pizza has one layer of light golden, slightly puffed dough at the bottom, topped with a layer of bright red tomato sauce. The top layer is melted white cheese shaped like a cute ghost with rounded head and waving arms, each ghost having two black oval eyes and a small smiling mouth made from pieces of black olive or similar. The cheese is slightly browned in spots, giving a melted texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make the ghost shapes ahead of time?

Yes, you can cut the ghost shapes from cheese slices a few hours ahead and keep them refrigerated until ready to use. Just be sure to cover them so they don’t dry out.

What if I can’t find prepared pizza dough?

If you don’t have prepared dough, you can use store-bought pizza crust or make your own dough from scratch. Just ensure it’s rolled out to about ¼-inch thickness for best results.

Toppings

1 cup Pizza Sauce (adds moisture and tangy flavor)
8 slices Mozzarella Cheese (use vegan cheese for a dairy-free option)

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure an easy cleanup.
Prepare Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface until you achieve a rectangle about ¼-inch thick. This thickness ensures the mini pizzas will be sturdy yet tender.
Cut Mini Pizzas: Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut out approximately 8 mini pizza rounds from the dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
Add Sauce: Spread pizza sauce evenly on each of the mini pizza bases, giving them a flavorful and moist base layer.
Initial Bake: Bake the mini pizzas in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until the dough is lightly golden and nearly cooked through.
Create Ghost Toppings: While the dough is baking, cut ghost shapes out of the mozzarella cheese slices using a small knife or cookie cutter.
Add Ghost Cheese: Remove the pizzas from the oven, carefully place the mozzarella ghost shapes on top of each pizza.
Final Bake: Return the pizzas to the oven and bake for an additional 4-5 minutes until the mozzarella ghost shapes are just melted and slightly bubbly.
Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the mini pizzas to cool slightly before serving to avoid burns and help the cheese set a little.
