Equipment

Cookie Cutter Set Use the 2 ¼-inch cookie cutter
Large baking sheet

Ingredients

8 whole black olives
32 sliced black olives I sliced these thinner for the legs
1-2 pre-baked thin pizza crust enough to make 16 mini pizzas
3 tablespoons pizza sauce
½ cup plus 1 tablespoon shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
For the spider bodies: Cut 8 whole olives into halves.
For the spider legs: If needed, slice the sliced olives thinner for ganglier spider legs. Then, cut sliced olives in half to form two C-shaped legs. Set aside.
Make the mini pizzas: Using a 2 ¼-inch cookie cutter, cut as many round mini pizza crusts as you can from the pre-baked crust—this is going to take some arm muscles! Line mini crusts on baking sheet, spaced apart.
Spoon about ½ teaspoon pizza sauce onto each crust, spreading into an even layer in the center. Sprinkle about 2 teaspoons of cheese onto each pizza.
Bake for 7-9 minutes, until golden brown at edges and cheese is fully melted.
Add the spiders: Cool for 1 minute. While the pizza is hot, carefully and quickly press olive “bodies” in the center of each pizza. Arrange and press “legs” along the sides of each body to make a spider.*
Serve Halloween pizzas with mummy dogs and enjoy!

Notes

*You can add the olives before baking but keep in mind that the spider parts will spread. The upside is, you can be less careful when moving the pizzas because they’ll be adhered to the melted cheese.
