Spooktacular Spider Web Pizza! 🕷️🍕

  

Get ready for some Halloween fun in the kitchen with this creepy-crawly (but super delicious!) Spider Web Pizza! It's so easy to make, even little monsters can help, and it's perfect for a spooky dinner before trick-or-treating. Forget boring old dinner – we're making a meal that's both yummy and a little bit spooky!

Here's what you'll need:

• 1 pre-made pizza crust (the round kind works best for webs!)
• 1/2 cup pizza sauce
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• A handful of black olives (sliced or whole, depending on how you want your spiders!)
• Optional: pepperoni, cooked ground beef, or other favorite pizza toppings for under the cheese.

Let's get cooking!

1.     Preheat the Oven: Ask a grown-up to help you preheat the oven according to the pizza crust package directions.

2.    Sauce it Up! Lay your pizza crust on a baking sheet. Spoon the pizza sauce onto the crust and spread it almost to the edges, leaving a little crust for holding.

3.    Cheese Please! Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese all over the sauce. Make sure it's an even layer!

4.    Time for the Web! This is the fun part! Get your black olives ready.

o   For the Spider: Take one whole black olive (or a few slices to make a body) and place it near the edge of the pizza for your main spider. If you have extra olive slices, you can cut them into little legs and arrange them around the "body"!

o   For the Web Lines: Take the rest of your sliced black olives. Start from the center of the pizza and arrange the slices in lines going outwards, like spokes on a wheel. Then, connect those spokes with curved lines to make the web pattern. Don't worry if it's not perfect – spiders aren't neat freaks!

5.    Bake it BAKE! Carefully put your pizza into the preheated oven. Bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden, and the crust is crispy.

6.    Gobble it Up! Ask your grown-up to carefully take the hot pizza out of the oven. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Now you have a spooky and delicious spider web pizza to enjoy!

This pizza is so much fun to make and even more fun to eat. Happy Halloween!
