Ingredients:
- 1 tube (13.8 oz / 391g) refrigerated pizza dough
- 1 egg (50g) beaten
- 1 tbsp (14g) melted butter
- 1/2 cup (120ml) thick pizza sauce
- 1 cup (113g) shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup (40g) finely diced pepperoni
- 8 black olives, sliced
- 1 tsp (5g) dried oregano
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll the pizza dough onto a lightly floured surface and cut into 12-15 equal squares or circles.
- Place 1 tsp of sauce and a pinch of mozzarella and pepperoni in the center of each piece of dough.
- Fold the dough over the filling and press the edges firmly to create a seal.
- Shape the dough into rounded ovals with protruding chins for skulls, or pinch the top to create a stem for pumpkins.
- Use a knife to score eyes or place sliced olives to create spooky faces.
- Gently coat each bite with the beaten egg wash and a drizzle of melted butter, then sprinkle with dried oregano.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes until the crust is golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Allow the bites to rest for 5 minutes before serving to let the cheese set.
