INGREDIENT NOTES:
PIZZA DOUGH:
- It makes the crust and gives shape to the skull. You may use homemade vegan pizza dough as per your preference.
PIZZA SAUCE:
- This sauce adds moisture and tomato taste to the filling. It works well with the pizza and gives better results. You may use crushed tomatoes mixed with Italian seasoning for a susbtitute.
VEGAN MOZZARELLA CHEESE:
- It includes a creamy center to the pizza skulls. This mozzarella cheese melts nicely when we bake it in the oven. Include vegan cheddar-style cheese as an alternative.
PEPPERONI:
- This ingredient includes classic pepperoni-pizza taste without using meat. You may use vegan sausage as another choice.
BLACK OLIVES:
- They give a salty and rich taste to the meal. The black color of olives makes the pizza look fun for Halloween. Green olives are good to use as another idea.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- First, coat the mold with cooking spray and warm the oven to 375°F.
- Lightly dust the surface and unroll the pizza dough, then cut it into pieces.
- Put one piece of the dough in the skull cavity and press it gently into the sides and bottom of the mold.
- Leave some dough on the edges and put 1 tbsp pizza sauce in the cavity.
- Include vegan mozzarella, chopped vegan pepperoni, black olives, green bell pepper, and red onion.
- Add a little more vegan mozzarella on top of the vegetables and pepperoni, then fold the extra dough over the filling.
- Gently press the edges to seal the skull and spray the tops lightly.
- Sprinkle dried oregano & garlic powder evenly on the dough and bake the pizza for 25 minutes.
- Lastly, cool the pizza skulls for 5 minutes, then remove them from the mold and serve.
