What Kind of Dough Should I Use?

For ease and speed, refrigerated pizza dough works wonderfully here. You can also use crescent roll dough or even naan rounds for a quicker version. If you’re feeling adventurous, homemade pizza dough adds that fresh-baked flavor. The important thing is that the base is sturdy enough to hold the toppings and ghost cutouts.

How To Make the Adorable Mini Ghost Pizzas

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and dust a clean surface with flour to roll out your dough.

Step 2: Cut and Shape the Dough

Roll out the pizza dough and use a round cookie cutter (or glass) to cut out mini pizza rounds. Place them on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each round lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with Italian seasoning.

Step 3: Add the Sauce

Spoon a bit of pizza sauce onto each dough round and spread it gently, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 4: Make the Mozzarella Ghosts

Using a ghost-shaped cookie cutter, cut out little ghosts from the mozzarella slices. If you don’t have a cutter, use kitchen scissors or a paring knife to carve ghost shapes.

Step 5: Assemble and Decorate

Place a ghost on top of each mini pizza. Add two olive slices as “eyes” to each ghost.

Step 6: Bake to Perfection

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and slightly bubbly.

Serving and Storing Your Mini Ghost Pizzas

Serve these spooky snacks hot from the oven as a festive appetizer or pair with a salad for a fun dinner. They make an excellent addition to Halloween party platters and disappear fast!

Leftovers (if there are any!) can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat them in a toaster oven or conventional oven at 350°F for a few minutes to keep them crispy.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I make this gluten-free?

Use your favorite gluten-free pizza dough or gluten-free flatbread as the base. Everything else in the recipe is naturally gluten-free.

Can I use shredded mozzarella instead of slices?

Sliced mozzarella makes it easier to shape ghosts, but if you only have shredded, try forming ghostly blobs and adding eyes on top for a spooky effect.

Do I need to pre-bake the dough?

For most pre-made doughs, it’s not necessary. But if you’re using homemade or a thicker crust, a quick 5-minute pre-bake helps keep things crispy.

Can I freeze these mini pizzas?

Yes! Bake them fully, let them cool, then freeze in a single layer. Reheat in the oven straight from frozen at 375°F until warmed through.

What other toppings work for Halloween?

Mini pepperoni as eyes or mouths, bell pepper strips for pumpkin stems, and black olive spiders are all spooky and fun.
