Making Ghost Pizza can be an enjoyable and creative process. Follow these simple steps to ensure your pizza comes out perfectly:

1. Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 475°F (245°C). This high temperature ensures a crispy crust.

2. Prepare Pizza Dough: If using homemade dough, roll it out on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a pizza stone or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

3. Add Sauce: Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

4. Sprinkle Cheese: Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Ensure you cover the entire surface for a gooey, cheesy experience.

5. Arrange Toppings: Artfully place the sliced black olives, bell peppers, mushrooms, and crumbled sausage on top of the cheese. Create a spooky design to make it visually enticing.

6. Drizzle Olive Oil: Lightly drizzle olive oil over the toppings to enhance flavor and promote even cooking.

7. Season: Sprinkle dried oregano and garlic powder on top for added seasoning. This will elevate the flavor profile.

8. Bake: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and melted.

9. Cool: Once cooked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for about 10-15 minutes.

10. Garnish: Top with fresh basil leaves if desired for a pop of color and freshness.
