Ingredients
Scale
Essentials:
- 18 ounces pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- ½ cup marinara sauce
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 8 ounces vegan mozzarella cheese
- 8 black and green olives (more as desired)
- 1 handful of semolina flour (for rolling)
- Extra-virgin olive oil (for drizzling)
Optional Add-Ons:
- Fresh basil for garnish
- Sliced bell peppers for color
- Vegan sausage or extra veggies for toppings
Substitutions & Shortcuts:
- Swap vegan mozzarella for regular cheese if dairy is fine
- Use pre-made pizza sauces instead of marinara for faster prep
- Store-bought pizza dough works perfectly for convenience
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Thaw frozen dough overnight or let fresh dough rest at room temperature for 30 minutes. Dust a clean surface with semolina flour and roll dough into a circle or rectangle, about ½-inch thick. Transfer to a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Prepare Toppings: Spread marinara sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a ½-inch border. Sprinkle Italian seasoning on top, then add vegan mozzarella generously.
- Create Ghost Shapes: Using a knife or cookie cutter, cut ghost shapes from remaining dough and place them on the cheese. Halve black and green olives and use them as eyes.
- Preheat Oven: Heat oven to 475°F (245°C) for a crispy crust and bubbly cheese.
- Bake & Finish: Drizzle pizza with olive oil. Bake for 12–15 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is melted. Let cool for a minute before slicing.
- Serve: Gather family or friends, slice, and enjoy your spooky Halloween creation!
Notes
- Get kids involved! Let them arrange ghost shapes or olive eyes for extra fun.
- Extra toppings like bell peppers, mushrooms, or vegan sausage make it more festive.
- Use a pizza stone for a crispier crust if available.
