Instructions
Creating Pizza Skulls is enjoyable with these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Pizza Dough: Lightly dust a clean surface with flour. Roll out the pizza dough to about ¼ inch thick.
3. Cut the Dough: Use a skull-shaped cookie cutter to cut out skull shapes from the rolled dough. Place as many as you can on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, mix together the shredded mozzarella, pepperoni, pizza sauce, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning.
5. Assemble the Skulls: Place a generous spoonful of the filling mixture on half of the skull cutouts. Leave some space at the edges to prevent spilling.
6. Top with Dough: Take the remaining skull cutouts and place them over the filled ones, sealing the edges well to avoid leakage. Use a fork to crimp and seal the sides.
7. Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the filled Pizza Skulls with beaten egg for a golden finish.
8. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
9. Cool: Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes.
10. Serve: Enjoy these delightful Pizza Skulls warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping!
