Instructions
Creating your Monster Eyeball Pizza is a fun and straightforward process. Follow these steps to bring your spooky creation to life:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This temperature is essential for a crispy crust and perfectly melted cheese.
2. Prep the Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it onto a baking sheet or pizza stone.
3. Spread the Sauce: Evenly spread the pizza sauce over the dough, covering the entire surface.
4. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella generously across the sauce, ensuring it’s well covered for that cheesy goodness.
5. Create Eyeballs: Place sliced pepperoni in pairs to create “eyeballs.” Each pair represents an eye, with one slice laid flat and another slightly overlapping, giving it a duck-like appearance.
6. Add Green Bell Pepper: Use the green bell pepper slices to create “pupils.” Slide a slice onto each pair of pepperoni eyes.
7. Insert Olives: Place one black olive on each pepperoni eye for the finishing touch. The black olives represent the eerie pupil of an eyeball.
8. Sprinkle Seasoning: Dust the top with Italian seasoning for added flavor.
9. Bake the Pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbling.
10. Cool and Slice: Once baked, allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing into monster-themed pieces.
By following these simple steps, you’ll create a Monster Eyeball Pizza that not only looks incredible but tastes delicious too!
