Gluten-Free Guide: If you’re new to eating gluten-free we understand it’s overwhelming trying to figure out which foods may contain gluten and which ones don’t. All of our gluten-free recipes marked with this symbol ✅ represent foods that need to be checked for gluten.
How To Make
Use a cup or cookie cutters to cut round shapes out of the pizza dough. Use different sizes if desired. If you can’t find Wholly Gluten-free pizza dough at your grocery store you can make these with gluten-free English muffins, pitas, or gluten-free tortillas cut into shapes.
Remove excess dough from the tray. You can make fun shapes out of the scraps, like these ghosts.
Next, top with pizza sauce or your favorite marinara sauce.
Use olives and mozzarella cheese to create mummy pizza. To make the cheese ghosts, slice a piece of mozzarella cheese. Use a pairing knife to curve the head and arms then the body. I am not artistic at all, so if I can do these, you can too!
Want to get even more creative? Set out chopped veggies such as peppers, green olives, or tomatoes and let your kids make their own spooky creation!
Bake for 8 – 10 minutes. Serve right away.
Tips and Tricks
- Gather All Ingredients and Tools in Advance: Before you start, make sure you have all the ingredients and tools you need on hand. This includes the pizza dough, sauce, cheese, olives, and any other toppings you want to use. Having everything ready will streamline the process.
- Prepare Your Work Surface: Ensure your work surface is clean and well-floured if you’re working with dough. This will prevent sticking and make it easier to roll out the dough.
- Use Parchment Paper: Line your baking pan with parchment paper before placing the pizza shapes on it. This will make it easier to remove the mini pizzas once they’re done, and it helps with cleanup.
- Customize Your Toppings: Get creative with your toppings! You can use various ingredients like pepperoni, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, or any of your favorite pizza toppings to make different designs or faces on the mini pizzas.
- Get Kids Involved: If you’re making these with kids, involve them in the process. They can help cut out the shapes, spread the sauce, and decorate the pizzas. It’s a fun activity for the whole family.
- Experiment with Shapes: While you mentioned using round shapes, you can also experiment with other Halloween-themed shapes like ghosts, pumpkins, or bats if you have different cookie cutters available.
- Control Oven Temperature: Make sure your oven is properly preheated to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and that it reaches the desired temperature before placing the mini pizzas inside. An oven thermometer can help ensure accuracy.
- Keep an Eye on the Oven: Mini pizzas cook quickly, so keep a close eye on them while they’re in the oven. You want the cheese to melt and the edges of the dough to turn golden brown but not burn.
- Let Them Cool Slightly: Allow the mini pizzas to cool for a minute or two before serving. This prevents anyone from burning their mouths and allows the cheese to set a bit.
