Ingredients of Halloween Ghost Pizza

• Dough: Store-bought pizza dough (fresh or frozen, thawed).
• Oil: Olive oil (for brushing).
• Sauce: Your favorite marinara or pizza sauce.
• Cheese for Ghosts: Mozzarella cheese slices (provolone or white American also work).
• For Spooky Eyes: Black olives, sliced.
• Other Toppings: Pepperoni slices, sliced mushrooms, diced green peppers, thinly sliced red onion.
• Garnish (Optional): Fresh basil or oregano, chopped.

Directions of Halloween Ghost Pizza

1. Preheat Oven: Heat your oven to 400-425°F (200-220°C). Grease a baking sheet or pizza stone. Let dough warm up if it’s cold.
2. Roll Dough: Roll out your pizza dough to your desired thickness. Put it on the baking sheet.
3. Add Sauce: Spread a layer of pizza sauce over the dough. Leave a small edge.
4. Base Cheese (Optional): Sprinkle a light layer of shredded mozzarella over the sauce.
5. Make Ghosts: Use a ghost cookie cutter to cut shapes from mozzarella slices. Or use a knife to cut freehand ghosts. Place these ghosts on the pizza.
6. Add Toppings: Put other toppings around the ghosts. Place two small black olive slices on each mozzarella ghost for eyes.
7. Bake Pizza: Bake for 12-18 minutes. The crust should be golden, and cheese bubbly. Watch it so it doesn’t burn.
8. Cool and Serve: Take the pizza out of the oven. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.

How to Serve Halloween Ghost Pizza

Serve your Halloween Ghost Pizza with a green punch or a fun drink. A simple green salad goes well with it. You can also make “Mummy Dogs” by wrapping hot dogs in pastry and baking them.

How to Store Halloween Ghost Pizza

You can freeze leftover Halloween Ghost Pizza. Wrap slices tightly in plastic wrap, then in foil. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to keep it crispy.

Tips to Make Halloween Ghost Pizza

• Use dough that is at room temperature. This makes it easier to roll.
• Use a sharp cookie cutter or knife for clean ghost shapes.
• Don’t forget the black olive eyes; they make the ghosts look real!
• Watch your pizza while it bakes. Ovens can differ, so prevent burning.

Variation

• Spicy Pizza: Add red pepper flakes or use spicy pepperoni.
• Veggie Pizza: Use lots of vegetables. For dairy-free ghosts, use dairy-free mozzarella.
• Meat Lover’s Pizza: Add sausage, crumbled turkey sausage, and more pepperoni around the ghosts.
• Mini Pizzas: Use English muffins or pita bread for small ghost pizzas. These are great for appetizers.

FAQs

• Can I make the pizza dough from scratch?
• Yes, you can use your favorite homemade pizza dough. Make sure it has risen well before you shape it.
• What is the best cheese to use for the ghost shapes?
• Sliced mozzarella, provolone, or white American cheese work best. They hold their shape well and melt nicely.
• How can I stop the ghost shapes from melting too much?
• Put a light layer of sauce and a small amount of shredded cheese under the ghosts. Also, don’t let the oven get too hot. You can add the ghost shapes during the last 5-7 minutes of baking too.
