Ingredients
  

Pizza Dough
  • 1 can Refrigerated pizza dough 13.8 oz
Filling
  • 1/2 cup Marinara sauce Thickened preferred
  • 1 cup Shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup Mini pepperoni slices
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
Egg Wash
  • 1 large egg Egg Beaten with splash of water
Optional Fillings
  • 1 cup Cooked sausage (or other replacements)
  • 1/2 cup Diced bell peppers
  • 1/4 cup Chopped black olives
  • 1/2 cup Sautéed mushrooms

Equipment

  • Silicone Skull Mold
  • Baking sheet
  • - Mixing bowls
  • - Measuring spoons
  • Parchment Paper or Non-Stick Spray
  • Toothpick or Sharp Knife

Method
 

  1. Prepare the mold: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease your silicone skull mold with non-stick cooking spray and place it on a baking sheet.
  2. Unroll and cut dough: Unroll your pizza dough onto a lightly floured surface. Cut the dough into twelve roughly equal squares using a pizza cutter or knife. Aim for a rustic look rather than perfectly uniform pieces.
  3. Form the base: Gently press one square of dough into one of the skull cavities in your mold. Use your fingertips to press it down and up the sides, creating a small cup that will hold the filling.
  4. Fill the skulls: Spoon approximately a teaspoon of marinara sauce into each dough-lined skull. Season with Italian seasoning and garlic powder. Add a generous pinch of mozzarella cheese and a few mini pepperoni. Be careful not to overfill as it can lead to soggy results.
  5. Seal the skulls: Take another square of dough and stretch it over the top of the filled skull. Press the edges firmly to seal, ensuring they're tight to hold the filling inside. Trim any excess.
  6. Make steam vents: Using a sharp knife or toothpick, carefully poke one or two small holes in the center of each sealed skull—ideally where the eyes would be for extra spooky effect.
  7. Apply egg wash: Whisk an egg with a splash of water. Gently brush this egg wash over the top of each skull to give them a beautiful golden-brown finish.
  8. Bake until golden: Place the baking sheet with the skull mold into your preheated oven. Bake for 13 to 18 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the filling is bubbly.
  9. Cool and serve: Carefully remove from the oven and let cool in the mold for 5 to 10 minutes to set. Gently pop them out and serve warm with extra marinara sauce for dipping.
