Ingredients

For the Pizza

1 package Pizza dough (store-bought, Pillsbury pizza crust, or homemade) Use store-bought for convenience or homemade for a fresh option.
1 cup Pizza sauce
2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese Use generously.
1 cup Sliced mozzarella cheese Thicker slices for a 3D look, thinner for a flatter look.
1/2 cup Black olives Sliced for eyes and mouths.
1/2 cup Pepperoni slices Optional for extra topping.

For Homemade Dough

2 1/4 tsp Active dry yeast
1 1/2 cups Warm water About 110°F (43°C).
4 cups All-purpose flour
2 tbsp Olive oil
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Sugar

Instructions

Option 1: Use Store-Bought Dough or Pillsbury Pizza Crust

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Spread a layer of pizza sauce evenly on the pizza crust.
Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Cut thicker slices of mozzarella into ghost-like figures and place them on top of the cheese.
Bake the pizza in the hot oven for about 15 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Once baked, add black olives as eyes and mouths on the mozzarella ghosts.

Option 2: Make Your Own Dough

In a bowl, mix the warm water with active dry yeast and sugar. Let it sit for about 5 to 10 minutes until it bubbles.
Combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a towel, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
After rising, punch the dough down, roll it out, and preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Spread pizza sauce evenly on the rolled-out dough and follow steps 3 to 5 from Option 1 to finish your pizza.

Notes

To store leftovers, keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat slices in the microwave for about 30 seconds or in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes. Involve your kids in decorating with toppings for more fun!
