Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Base
- 1 package Prepared Pizza Dough (essential for a sturdy base and delightful texture)
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.
Notes
- Use vegan cheese to make the recipe dairy-free and suitable for vegans.
- Ensure the dough is rolled evenly for consistent cooking.
- Cut the ghost shapes carefully to achieve spooky, recognizable designs.
- Serve these mini pizzas warm for the best cheesy texture and flavor.
- These mini pizzas make great party snacks or fun Halloween treats for kids.
