A fun and spooky twist on pizza, perfect for Halloween or any themed party.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease your skull-shaped baking mold with nonstick spray.
Ensure the mold is evenly greased to prevent sticking and make removal easier.
Roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle, approximately 21x8 inches. Cut the dough into six equal strips.
Use a rolling pin to achieve an even thickness for consistent baking.
Place a strip of dough into each cavity of the skull mold, pressing gently to form a base.
Ensure the dough covers the entire cavity to hold the fillings.
Layer the fillings: start with a tablespoon of mozzarella, followed by parmesan, marinara sauce, sausage, pepperoni, another layer of marinara, mozzarella, and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning.
Don't overfill to ensure the dough can seal properly.
Fold the edges of the dough over the fillings, pinching to seal. Repeat for all cavities.
Pinch the dough firmly to prevent leaks during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the dough is golden brown.
Check halfway through baking to ensure even cooking.
Remove the skulls from the mold and place them on a serving platter. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with extra marinara sauce for dipping.
Let the skulls cool slightly before removing to avoid breaking.
