Instructions
Preparation
- Spray your mini skull baking tin with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Lightly dust your counter with flour to help with rolling the dough.
- Roll, pat, or stretch the pizza dough until it is about 1/4-inch thick.
- Cut the dough into 6 rectangles, they do not need to be perfectly shaped.
- Lay each piece of dough into the skull cavity of the baking tin.
- Fill each dough piece with pizza sauce, shredded mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese, then add your choice of toppings.
- Drizzle a tiny bit of pizza sauce on top—no more than a tablespoon is needed.
- Fold the dough over the fillings and pinch it together to seal like a small pizza pocket.
- Refrigerate the filled skull pizza tray while you preheat the oven.
Baking
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Remove the tray from the refrigerator and bake for 16 to 20 minutes or until the tops are lightly golden brown.
- Allow the pizza skulls to cool for about 5 minutes before removing them from the tin.
Serving
- Serve with marinara sauce and sprinkle with chopped parsley or basil.
Notes
If you have leftover pizza skulls, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes.
