Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Base
- 1 pre-made pizza crust
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
Toppings
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 6 slices mozzarella cheese (for ghost shapes)
- Black olives, sliced (for ghost eyes)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the pizza crust packaging, typically set at 425°F (220°C).
- Prepare the Pizza Base: Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the pre-made pizza crust to ensure every bite has flavor.
- Add the Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce-covered crust for a deliciously cheesy base.
- Bake the Pizza: Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and beginning to turn golden.
- Create Ghost Shapes: While the pizza bakes, use a ghost-shaped cookie cutter or carefully freehand cut ghost shapes from the mozzarella slices to prepare the spooky toppings.
- Assemble the Ghosts: Once the pizza is baked, immediately place the ghost-shaped mozzarella slices on top while the pizza is still warm so the cheese will slightly melt and adhere.
- Add the Eyes: Press two slices of black olive onto each ghost shape to create cute, expressive ghost eyes that complete the Halloween look.
Notes
- Use a ghost-shaped cookie cutter for uniform and easy ghost shapes, or carefully cut by hand if unavailable.
- Serve the pizza immediately to enjoy the gooey melted cheese and fresh toppings.
- You can substitute black olives with small pieces of black peppercorns or edible black decorations if preferred.
- If you prefer a crispier crust, bake the pizza a couple of minutes longer but watch closely to avoid burning.
