Spooky Pizza Recipes

Steps:

• For the salsa verde: Mix the finishing oil, parsley, chilies, oregano, olives and anchovies in a small bowl. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, if needed, and reserve.
• For the pizza: Preheat a pizza oven to 550 degrees F. If using a regular oven, put a pizza stone in the bottom and preheat the oven to 550 degrees F.
• Blend the plum tomatoes with the olive oil, garlic and salt to taste in a blender.
• Slice the mozzarella into 2-inch-thick slices. Use a ghost-shaped Halloween cookie cutter to cut out mozzarella ghosts.
• Roll out one of the pizza dough balls to about 12 inches and put on top of a pizza peel. Spoon the tomato sauce all over the pizza, drizzle with finishing olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Bake until the crust is slightly golden brown, about 5 minutes.
• Carefully remove the pizza from the oven, assemble with the mozzarella ghosts, salsa verde and arugula, drizzle with lemon juice and garnish with freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano. Repeat with other pizza dough and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• To make the crust: In a small bowl, combine water, olive oil, and food colorings. In a large mixing bowl, combine baking mix and flour. Stir liquid mixture into the flour mixture to form a dough. Divide dough in half and form each into a disk. Press onto pizza pans to desired thickness. Brush tops with remaining olive oil and bake for 8 minutes in preheated oven. Remove pizza crusts from oven and top with marinara, roasted bell peppers, cheese, and remaining ingredients. Return to oven and continue baking and additional 12 to 16 minutes, or until crusts are golden and cheese is bubbling. While pizzas are baking, stir together sour cream and caviar. When pizzas are finished baking, drizzle with caviar cream. Slice and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Press cookie dough onto bottom of greased 12-inch pizza pan. Bake 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely in pan on wire rack.
• Beat cream cheese and sugar in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Gently stir in 1 cup of the whipped topping. Spread over cooled crust.
• Decorate with remaining ingredients and remaining whipped topping to resemble a graveyard.

Steps:

• Mix the flours and yeast with a pinch of salt in a food processor fitted with a dough blade, or combine in a bowl. Pour in the water and mix to a soft dough, then work for 1 min in a processor or 5 mins by hand. Remove the dough, divide into 4 pieces and roll out on a lightly floured surface to rounds about 15cm across. Lift onto heavily oiled baking sheets.
• Mix the passata with the garlic, oil and a little seasoning. Spread over the dough to within 2cm of the edges. Scatter with the mozzarella. Halve the olives and tomatoes. Place an olive in the centre of each pizza to make the spider's body. Cut the rest into little legs and arrange them around the spider bodies. Dot the tomatoes here and there. Leave to rise for 20 mins. Heat oven to 240C/ fan 220C/gas 9 or the highest setting.
• Bake the pizza for 10-12 mins until crisp and golden around the edges. Scatter with the basil to serve.
