Description
A spooky and cheesy Halloween dinner idea featuring ghost mozzarella, olive tombstones, and cauliflower florets.
Ingredients
Scale
- → For the Flatbread Base
- 1 pound flatbread dough (homemade or store-bought)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- → For the Toppings
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 8 slices mozzarella cheese (cut into ghost shapes)
- ½ cup black olives (whole and sliced)
- 1 cup small cauliflower florets
- Fresh parsley or cilantro (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Heat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly oil it.
- Prepare the base: Roll out the flatbread dough and brush it with olive oil. Bake for 5–7 minutes to pre-crisp the crust.
- Add sauce and cheese: Spread pizza sauce evenly, then top with shredded mozzarella.
- Decorate the cemetery: Arrange mozzarella “ghosts,” olives as tombstones or eyes, and cauliflower florets as eerie headstones.
- Bake again: Return to the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes until cheese is melted and golden.
- Finish and serve: Garnish with parsley or cilantro. Slice and serve warm for a spooky dinner treat!
Notes
- Use chilled mozzarella for easier ghost-shaped cutting.
- Try naan or pita for a quicker version of the flatbread.
- Avoid overloading toppings to keep the crust crispy.
- Add red bell pepper “bats” or pepperoni “pumpkins” for fun variations.
- For a vegan version, use dairy-free cheese and vegan dough.
