Ingredients:

• 1 package refrigerated pizza dough

• 1/2 cup pepperoni slices, chopped
• 1/4 cup black olives, sliced

Directions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven according to the pizza dough package instructions.
2. Prepare the Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface. Cut it into sections large enough to fit and line each cavity of your skull-shaped baking mold.
3. Line the Mold: Press the dough into each skull cavity, ensuring it fully lines the mold and extends slightly over the edges.
4. Fill the Skulls: Spoon a tablespoon of pizza sauce into each cavity, followed by shredded mozzarella cheese, chopped pepperoni, and black olives.
5. Seal with Dough: Place another piece of pizza dough over the filling and press the edges firmly to seal. Trim off any excess dough.
6. Bake: Place the mold in the oven and bake according to the pizza dough instructions, usually around 15-20 minutes, until the skulls are golden and cooked through.
7. Cool Slightly: Allow the pizza skulls to cool for about 5 minutes before carefully removing them from the mold.
8. Serve Warm: Serve these spooky treats warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
