Halloween is coming up soon. This quick, scary pizza offers culinary holiday fun that impresses both visually and in taste. The recipe.
Admittedly, the idea of a pizza with deep black spiders and gruesome ghosts as a topping may sound rather uninviting at first – but once you take a bite, you can safely breathe a sigh of relief. Because behind the scary facade there is a wonderfully “normal” pizza aroma that makes the ghost pizza a culinary party hit and visual Halloween fun.

Recipe for a spookily delicious Halloween pizza
Ingredients for one tray
For the dough
- 250 g flour, type 405
- 130 ml lukewarm water
- 1/2 cube of yeast, fresh
- 2 tbsp olive oil, virgin
- 1 pinch of salt
For the sauce
- 200 g pureed tomatoes, can
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 3 tbsp tomato paste
- 1/2 white onion
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt pepper
- 2 tsp dried Italian herbs: thyme, oregano, rosemary, basil
For covering
- 100 g grated cheese, e.g. Emmental
- 3 mozzarella
- 100g black, pitted olives
preparation
- Mix flour and salt. Place in a bowl and make a well.
- Crumble the yeast cube into the lukewarm water and mix until no residue remains. Add to the well along with the olive oil.
- Then knead the dough thoroughly for at least 5 to 10 minutes until it is smooth and no longer sticks.
- Roll out the dough and place it on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Preheat the oven to the highest level of top/bottom heat.
- Prepare the tomato sauce: Peel and finely chop the garlic and onion. Mix together with the remaining ingredients in a bowl; you can also prepare it in a blender.
- Spread the finished dough with the tomato sauce. Sprinkle with the grated cheese.
- Cut the mozzarella into thin slices and then shape it into a ghost shape. This works with a sharp knife or kitchen scissors. Pour on the pizza.
- For the spiders, halve the olives. Cut half of the divided olives into thin half rings and place them around the entire halves as spider legs. The remaining olives can be used to make eyes for the ghosts by simply punching out the olive flesh with a straw.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes.
- Serve.
