Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pre-made pizza crust: Save time with a store-bought crust or make your own for a fresher taste. Either way, you’re in for a treat!
- 1 cup spinach or pesto: This will serve as your vibrant green base—spinach for a milder flavor, or pesto for a herby kick! Both options are packed with flavor.
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese: For that gooey, cheesy goodness everyone loves. You could even mix in some cheddar for an extra cheesy bite.
- ½ cup sliced olives: Black olives make perfect “spiders” for a spooky touch. They add a savory element that pairs well with the other toppings.
- 1 cup assorted vegetables: Think bell peppers, green onions, or broccoli for a pop of color and crunch. Feel free to use whatever you have on hand!
- Pepperoni or salami (optional): Cut into spooky shapes with cookie cutters for added fun! The kids will love spotting these fun toppings.
- Red pepper flakes (optional): For a touch of heat—perfect if you like a little kick! Spice it up as you see fit!
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on your pizza crust package (usually around 425°F or 220°C). Preheating is key for that crispy crust!
- Prepare the Pizza Crust: If you’re using a pre-made crust, roll it out on a floured surface and transfer it to a pizza stone or baking sheet. If you’re making your own, follow your favorite recipe to prepare the dough. You can even get the kids involved in shaping the dough!
- Spread the Green Base:
- If using spinach, blend it with a little olive oil to create a smooth spread. If using pesto, simply scoop it out. Spread your spinach or pesto evenly over the crust, leaving a small border for the crust. This is where the magic begins!
- Add the Cheese:
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the green base, ensuring even coverage. This will create a delicious gooey layer that everyone will enjoy.
- Decorate with Toppings:
- Get creative with your toppings! Arrange the sliced olives on top to create spider shapes, and scatter your choice of veggies across the pizza. If you’re using cookie-cutter shapes for pepperoni or salami, place them artfully around the pizza. This is the fun part—let your imagination run wild!
- Bake:
- Place your pizza in the preheated oven and bake according to the crust instructions, usually around 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden. Keep an eye on it, as every oven varies!
- Cool and Slice:
- Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. This will make slicing easier and help prevent burns. Cut into slices and get ready to serve!
