Bat-Shaped Mini Pepperoni Pizzas
Equipment
- Baking sheet
- Rolling pin
- Bat-shaped cookie cutter
Ingredients
- 1 lb refrigerated pizza dough
- ¾ cup pizza sauce
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 20 slices pepperoni
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll the pizza dough out on a lightly floured surface to about ¼-inch thickness.
- Use a bat-shaped cookie cutter to cut out 8 to 10 shapes from the dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over each bat shape, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce on each piece.
- Top each pizza with 2 pepperoni slices, positioning them to fit within the bat shape.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 2 minutes before serving.
Notes
Cut the dough shapes close together to get the most bats from one package. If the pepperoni curls during baking, press it down gently with a spatula right after removing the sheet from the oven. These pizzas reheat well in a 350°F oven for a few minutes if made ahead.
