How to make Homemade Pizza Dough
This simple dough recipe is perfect to make deep-dish, thin-crust, stuffed crust or fluffy spooky pizza recipe, depending on how you roll it out and prepare it.
In a food processor, mix together flour, yeast, olive oil, salt and water, until just combined.
Knead the dough on a floured worktop for 5 minutes, until dough is smooth and elastic. Transfer to an oiled bowl, cover with a sheet of oiled cling film and set aside until doubled in size (this will take around 45 minutes).
Heat oven to 446
°F. Divide the dough into four pieces. Flour your work surface and using a rolling pin and your hands, roll a piece of dough into a circle. (The bigger you go the thinner your crust).
How to garnish Spooky Halloween Pizza
Using cookie cutters, cut out ghost shapes from your chosen cheese slices. Then thinly slice 8 olive halves lengthways into 4 to make 32 legs for the spiders (each spider has eight). Dice two more olive halves to make eyes for the mozzarella ghosts. Spread the passata over the base, allowing a 1cm border. Top with the salami and arrange the torn mozzarella in ghost shapes (with room to spread).
Position the remaining olives, cut-side down, and arrange 4 spidery legs on either side.
Cook the pizza for 15-20 mins, until bubbling and golden. Remove from the oven and leave to cool for 1 min, before adding the reserved olive eyes to each melted mozzarella ghost. Serve immediately.
