  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 28 minute

Ingredients

– 1 store-bought or homemade pizza dough
– 1 cup pizza sauce
– 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
– ½ cup pepperoni slices (or any toppings of your choice)
– 1 cup sliced bell peppers (orange, green, or yellow)
– 1 small onion, thinly sliced
– 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
– Olive oil, for brushing
– Flour, for dusting


Instructions

Making Jack-O’-Lantern Pizza can be easy and enjoyable if you follow these steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 475°F (245°C). This temperature ensures a perfectly crispy crust.
2. Prepare the Dough: On a clean surface, dust flour and roll out your pizza dough into a large circle, about 12 inches in diameter.
3. Transfer to Pizza Stone or Pan: Carefully transfer the rolled-out dough onto a greased or floured pizza stone or baking pan.
4. Create the Jack-O’-Lantern Design: Use a knife to cut out shapes for the eyes, nose, and mouth directly into the dough. Make sure to reserve and keep the cut-out pieces, they can be used in your recipe.
5. Add Pizza Sauce: Spread a layer of pizza sauce evenly over the dough, avoiding the cut-out areas.
6. Sprinkle Cheese: Generously sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the sauce, filling in the spaces around the cut-out areas.
7. Fill the Face: Place pepperoni slices or your desired toppings in the shape of the eyes, nose, and mouth. Use bell pepper pieces to create a fun design or additional features.
8. Season the Pizza: Sprinkle Italian seasoning over the top for added flavor. This will enhance the overall taste of the pizza.
9. Brush with Olive Oil: Lightly brush the edges of the pizza crust with olive oil to create a golden brown finish while baking.
10. Bake the Pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
11. Cool and Slice: Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice into wedges and get ready to serve!
12. Garnish: Optional: Add some fresh herbs or additional toppings if desired before serving to make it extra festive.

By following these steps, you’ll effortlessly create an incredible Jack-O’-Lantern Pizza that will wow your guests!
