Instructions
Follow these instructions to create your Spider Halloween Pizza with Black Charcoal Crust:
1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, activated charcoal powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix until well combined.
2. Add Wet Ingredients: Slowly pour in the warm water and olive oil. Mix until a soft dough forms.
3. Knead the Dough: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. Rest the Dough: Place the kneaded dough back in the bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rest for 30 minutes in a warm place.
5. Preheat the Oven: While the dough is resting, preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
6. Roll the Dough: Once rested, roll the dough out on a floured surface into your desired pizza shape (round, square, etc.).
7. Add Sauce: Transfer the rolled-out dough to a baking sheet or pizza stone. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the crust.
8. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously on top of the sauce.
9. Create Spider Shape: Use slices of pepperoni and other toppings to form a spider shape on top of the cheese.
10. Top with Vegetables: Distribute assorted vegetables around the spider to add color and flavor.
11. Bake the Pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the crust is crispy and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
12. Decorate with Black Olives: After baking, carefully arrange black olives to create legs extending from the spider on the pizza.
13. Rest and Slice: Allow the pizza to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing it into pieces.
14. Serve and Enjoy: Present the pizza as the centerpiece of your Halloween feast.
