Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough and Base

  • 1 ball pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 tablespoons cornmeal or flour (for dusting)
  • Olive oil for brushing

For the Toppings

  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 12 slices pepperoni or mini pepperoni (optional)
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives
  • 1/4 cup sliced bell peppers (for whiskers)
  • Optional decorations: fresh basil, cherry tomatoes, or spinach for extra color

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly dust the parchment with cornmeal or flour to prevent sticking.
  2. Shape the Bunny Pizza Dough: On a clean surface, take the pizza dough ball and shape it into a large oval or circle to form the bunny’s face. Use smaller pieces of dough to create two long ears at the top of the head, pressing them gently into the face dough so they stick securely. Carefully transfer the shaped dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Brush with Olive Oil: Lightly brush the surface of the shaped dough and ears with olive oil to promote a golden crust as it bakes.
  4. Add Sauce and Cheese: Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the bunny shape, making sure to leave a small border around the edges to avoid spillover. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top of the sauce.
  5. Decorate the Bunny Face: Use black olive slices to create the bunny’s eyes and nose, the pepperoni slices to form rosy cheeks, and thin strips of bell pepper to represent whiskers. Add additional optional decorations such as fresh basil, cherry tomatoes, or spinach for extra color and character.
  6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the pizza for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy your festive bunny pizza!
