BY KRISTEN GARRIDO

Skull pizza is a fun and spooky dish perfect for Halloween. This step-by-step guide will help you make this delicious and festive meal for a spooky party or family dinner.

Preparing Pizza Dough

Roll out your dough into a circle or rectangle, depending on your preferred shape. Place it on a pizza stone or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Preparing Pizza Dough

It's important to let the dough rest for a few minutes to allow it to rise slightly before adding your toppings.

Skull Mushrooms

Using a small paring knife, carefully carve two eye sockets and a small line for the mouth on each mushroom to create a skull-like appearance.

Sauté Skull Mushrooms

In a pan, heat olive oil and sauté your carved mushroom skulls for 2-3 minutes to soften them slightly.

Pizza Prep 

Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce evenly over the pizza dough. 

Adding Cheese

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously on top to create a gooey and delicious base.

Add Skull Mushrooms

Gently place your sautéed mushroom skulls on top of the pizza. Arrange them strategically so that they stand out as the centerpiece of your design.

Bake

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Bake the pizza for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.

Serve

Your spooky skull pizza is now ready to serve! The mushroom skulls and eerie toppings will be a hit at any Halloween gathering.

This creative dish adds both fun and flavor to your spooky celebrations.
