Spooky Halloween Mini Pizzas
SHORT DESCRIPTION
Get creative in the kitchen this Halloween with these spooky mini pizzas! Made with homemade pizza dough, tomato and melted cheese, each mini pizza features green olive eyes and a black Kalamata olive mouth for a fun, Scream-inspired look. Perfect for Halloween parties, family cooking or a spooky night in.
DESCRIPTION
- Make the dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Kialla Organic Bread & Pizza Flour, Natural Instant Yeast and Celtic Sea Salt Fine. Add the lukewarm water and Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, mixing until a dough forms.
- Knead and rest: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8–10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean tea towel and leave in a warm spot for approximately 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Prepare the bases: Preheat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan-forced). Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each into a small circle. Place the bases on a lined baking tray.
- Add the tomato and cheese: Spread a thin layer of Organic Tomato Purée with Basil over each base, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle with grated mozzarella and a little Organic Oregano Leaves.
- Create the spooky faces: Arrange two slices of Organic Green Olives Stuffed with Capsicum on each pizza to make the eyes. Use sliced, pitted Organic Greek Kalamata Olives to create an open, spooky mouth inspired by the iconic Scream mask.
- Bake until golden: Bake for 10–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling and the pizza bases are lightly golden.
- Serve and enjoy: Allow the mini pizzas to cool slightly before serving. Arrange on a platter and enjoy your spooky Halloween creations!
Good to know: Keep the toppings light to help the bases cook evenly and the olive faces remain visible. Get creative with different olive shapes to give each mini pizza its own spooky expression. These pizzas are also a fun activity for kids to help prepare.
