Ingredients
- 13 to 16 ounces pre-made pizza dough (boxed or fresh)
- 3/4 to 1 cup pizza sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Marinara sauce for dipping
- Chopped parsley or basil (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Use a mini skull-shaped baking pan. Spray it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Roll the Dough: Lightly flour the counter. Roll, pat, or stretch the pizza dough to about 1/4-inch thickness. Cut the dough into 6 rectangles.
- Assemble the Skulls: Place each dough piece into a skull cavity of the pan. Add a layer of pizza sauce, followed by shredded mozzarella, and a sprinkle of Parmesan. Spoon a small amount of pizza sauce on top of the fillings.
- Seal and Chill: Fold the dough over the fillings, pinching the edges to seal. Repeat with the remaining dough and fillings. Refrigerate the pan while preheating the oven.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the pizza skulls for 16-20 minutes, or until they are lightly golden brown.
- Serve: Allow the pizza skulls to cool for 5 minutes before unmolding. Serve with marinara sauce and chopped parsley or basil if desired.
