Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Rolling pin
  • Mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound pizza dough
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 3/4 cup shredded provolone cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded asiago cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 475 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Roll or stretch the pizza dough into a rough skull shape about 12 inches long on the prepared sheet. Press lightly to define the forehead, eye sockets, and jawline.
  • Brush the entire surface with olive oil and sprinkle evenly with garlic powder.
  • Mix the mozzarella, provolone, parmesan, and asiago cheeses in a bowl, then spread them evenly over the dough, keeping the cheese inside the skull outline.
  • Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
  • Remove from the oven and let the pizza rest for 3 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Shape the skull while the dough is at room temperature so it stretches without tearing. Using a mix of shredded and grated cheeses helps the topping melt evenly without pooling. Leftovers reheat best in a 350-degree oven for 5 minutes to restore crisp crust texture.
