How to make Monster Faced Halloween Pizza
Prepare the Halloween Pizza Sauce
Heat oil in a pan and add the blanched and chopped tomatoes, tomato puree, and garlic paste.
Fry for 2 minutes, then add salt, oregano, and chopped basil leaves.
Cover and cook on low heat for 3-4 minutes or until the oil separates from the water.
Make the Pizza Dough
In a bowl, combine all-purpose flour, salt, sugar, and instant yeast. Whisk together.
Add warm milk and oil to the flour mixture and mix well.
Gradually add warm water and knead the dough until smooth.
Cover the dough and place it in a warm area for 1 hour to rise.
Once risen, punch down the dough to remove air.
Assemble the Monster Face Pizza
Preheat the oven to 190 degrees Celsius.
Using a rolling pin, flatten the dough into a round shape.
Spread the prepared pizza sauce over the dough.
Use chicken pieces to create the monster's teeth and place sausages underneath to form the mouth.
Add sausages and olives or black peppercorns to make the eyes, and carve a nose using a knife.
Carefully spread shredded cheese over the pizza, avoiding the monster's features.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Tips & Tricks
For a spicier pizza, add red chili flakes to the sauce.
Use different colored bell peppers for additional monster features.
