Creepy Mini Pizzas!


Halloween Pizza Time :)

Ingredients
Crust:
 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, or more as needed
 1 envelope Pizza Crust Yeast or Rapid Rise Yeast
 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
 1 1/3 cups very warm water (120 degrees to 130 degrees F)*
 1/3 cup Olive Oil

Suggested Toppings:
 Pepperoni
 Green, Yellow, and Red Peppers
 Jalapeno Pepper
 Black Olive
 White and Yellow Cheese
 Mushrooms




Directions

1.) Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
2.) Combine 2 cups flour, undissolved yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Add very warm water and oil; mix until well blended, about 1 minute.
3.) Gradually add enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Dough should form a ball and will be slightly sticky. Knead on a floured surface, adding additional flour if necessary, until smooth and elastic, about 4 minutes. Divide dough into 8 portions; cover. (If using RapidRise Yeast, let dough rise at this point for 10 minutes.)
4.) Pat each portion of dough with floured hands into an 8-inch circle on a greased baking sheet. Form a rim by pinching the edge of the dough. Add a second crust to the same baking sheet.
5.) Bake for 6 to 7 minutes, dough will be just set and only lightly browned on the bottom. Remove crusts to a wire rack to cool. Continue with remaining pizza dough. (Works best to use several baking sheets.) May use crusts immediately or place in freezer bags and freeze for up to 1 month.
6.) When ready to bake, preheat oven to 475 degrees F. Spread each crust with pizza sauce. Top with desired toppings to make Halloween designs! Repeat with remaining pizzas. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 6 to 8 minutes, until cheese is melted and lightly browned and bottom of crust is browned.







These great little pizzas are fun to make with family and friends and kids especially love them!














Be creative and have fun with your designs!




The dough tastes fabulous! and if you would prefer to make one big pizza thats ok!
