Inspired by a post she saw on Pinterest, Jessica has put a fall/ Halloween twist on pizza!
This recipe is the perfect snack to enjoy right before the kids head out trick-or-treating, or for a cozy night at home.
This segment aired on California Cooking with Jessica Holmes, Episode 195.
Ingredients:
Store-bought pie or pizza dough
Pizza sauce
Mini mozzarella balls or shredded mozzarella
Pepperoni
1/2 stick of Butter
1 clove garlic
Tumeric
Paprika
Pretzels
Basil leaves
Instructions:
- Roll out the dough.
- Using a bowl or circular cookie cutter, cut circles in the dough.
- Add pizza sauce, cheese and pepperoni to your dough circle then fold up all the edges of the dough and roll it into a sealed ball.
- Coat twine with oil to prevent it from sticking to your pumpkins after baking.
- Take twine and wrap it down the middle, then cross over, create a knot and keep wrapping to create your pumpkin ridges. You can also use several pieces of twine to create the ridges that way as well.
- Place your pumpkin stuffed pizzas on a parchment lined cookie sheet.
- Add butter and garlic into a sauce pan and heat up. Add tumeric and paprika to create an orange color.
- Using a pastry brush, brush butter on your pumpkin stuffed pizza.
- Place pizzas in oven at 375 degrees for 20-30 mins.
- Let cool. Remove twine. Add pretzel for stem and basil leave.
- Serve on platter.
- Happy Halloween!
