Spooky Pizza Pie Recipes

SPOOKY PIZZA PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• To make the crust: In a small bowl, combine water, olive oil, and food colorings. In a large mixing bowl, combine baking mix and flour. Stir liquid mixture into the flour mixture to form a dough. Divide dough in half and form each into a disk. Press onto pizza pans to desired thickness. Brush tops with remaining olive oil and bake for 8 minutes in preheated oven. Remove pizza crusts from oven and top with marinara, roasted bell peppers, cheese, and remaining ingredients. Return to oven and continue baking and additional 12 to 16 minutes, or until crusts are golden and cheese is bubbling. While pizzas are baking, stir together sour cream and caviar. When pizzas are finished baking, drizzle with caviar cream. Slice and serve.

CREEPY MINI PIZZAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Combine 2 cups flour, undissolved yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Add very warm water and oil; mix until well blended, about 1 minute.
• Gradually add enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Dough should form a ball and will be slightly sticky. Knead** on a floured surface, adding additional flour if necessary, until smooth and elastic, about 4 minutes. Divide dough into 8 portions; cover. (If using RapidRise Yeast, let dough rise at this point for 10 minutes.)
• Pat each portion of dough with floured hands into an 8-inch circle on a greased baking sheet. Form a rim by pinching the edge of the dough. Add a second crust to the same baking sheet.
• Bake for 6 to 7 minutes, dough will be just set and only lightly browned on the bottom. Remove crusts to a wire rack to cool. Continue with remaining pizza dough. (Works best to use several baking sheets.) May use crusts immediately or place in freezer bags and freeze for up to 1 month.
• When ready to bake, preheat oven to 475 degrees F. Spread each crust with pizza sauce. Top with desired toppings to make Halloween designs! Repeat with remaining pizzas. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 6 to 8 minutes, until cheese is melted and lightly browned and bottom of crust is browned.

SPOOKY PIZZA

Steps:

• For the salsa verde: Mix the finishing oil, parsley, chilies, oregano, olives and anchovies in a small bowl. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, if needed, and reserve.
• For the pizza: Preheat a pizza oven to 550 degrees F. If using a regular oven, put a pizza stone in the bottom and preheat the oven to 550 degrees F.
• Blend the plum tomatoes with the olive oil, garlic and salt to taste in a blender.
• Slice the mozzarella into 2-inch-thick slices. Use a ghost-shaped Halloween cookie cutter to cut out mozzarella ghosts.
• Roll out one of the pizza dough balls to about 12 inches and put on top of a pizza peel. Spoon the tomato sauce all over the pizza, drizzle with finishing olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Bake until the crust is slightly golden brown, about 5 minutes.
• Carefully remove the pizza from the oven, assemble with the mozzarella ghosts, salsa verde and arugula, drizzle with lemon juice and garnish with freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano. Repeat with other pizza dough and serve immediately.
