There’s no need to turn on the oven to make these Fright Night Pizzas. The personal-size rounds are pan-fried, then placed under the broiler to melt the cheese.

The pizza dough was made with the Italian Pizza Dough Kit from DeLallo.

You can use store-bought dough or make it from scratch with your own recipe.

RECIPE: HALLOWEEN PIZZA

Ingredients

1 DeLallo Italian Pizza Dough Kit or substitute

1-1/4 cups lukewarm water

Extra light olive oil or substitute, for frying

Pizza toppings of your choice (below)

Topping Ideas

Here are combinations to make the pizzas in the photos:

Attack of the Spiders: pizza sauce, green and black olives, mozzarella perlini (the different sizes of mozzarella)

Bloodshot Eyeballs: pizza sauce, provolone, pepperoni, black olives

Candy Corn: provolone, colby or cheddar cheese, yellow peppers

Evil Eyes: pizza sauce, basil Leaves, green olives

Monster: olive tapenade, green and black pitted olives, peppadews, mozzarella perlini

Mummy: pesto, provolone cheese, black olives, pepperoni

Spider Web: olive tapenade, strips of provolone cheese, sliced green olives

Preparation

1. COMBINE the flour mix and yeast packet in a large mixing bowl with the lukewarm water. Stir with a fork until dough begins to form.

2. KNEAD by hand for 3 minutes, or until dough is soft and smooth. Transfer to a clean, lightly oiled bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Allow the dough to rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes. (After this step, you can refrigerate it for use within 1-3 days.) Once the dough has risen…

3. DIVIDE into 8 small equal pieces. Flatten into rounds by hand on a well-floured surface. Gently stretch.

4. HEAT the oven to broil.

5. FRY the dough. Pour enough oil into a deep frying pan to reach a depth of 2 inches. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 325°F. Once the oil is hot…

6. FRY the dough rounds until they are golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Fry in batches. Remove the cooked rounds with tongs or a slotted spoon. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet or cooling rack.

7. TOP the fried dough with toppings. Optional: Heat under broiler to warm the toppings and melt the cheese.

Then, bite the fright!
