Ingredients:
- 1 package refrigerated pizza dough
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup pepperoni slices, chopped
- Additional fillings as desired (e.g., mushrooms, bell peppers)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Directions:
- Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the pizza dough package.
- Grease a skull-shaped baking pan well to prevent sticking.
- Roll out the refrigerated pizza dough and cut it into pieces large enough to fit into each cavity of the skull-shaped pan.
- Press each dough piece into the pan, forming a pocket to hold the fillings.
- Spoon a little pizza sauce into the bottom of each dough pocket, then add shredded mozzarella cheese, chopped pepperoni, and any other fillings you like (such as mushrooms or bell peppers).
- Fold the dough over the fillings to seal the top of each pocket, trimming away any excess dough if needed.
- Brush the tops of the dough pockets with beaten egg to give them a golden, glossy finish as they bake.
- Bake the pizza skulls according to the pizza dough package instructions, or until the dough is golden brown and the fillings are hot and bubbly.
- Allow the pizza skulls to cool slightly before carefully removing them from the pan.
- Serve the pizza skulls hot, ideally with extra pizza sauce on the side for dipping.
