About Halloween Themed Pizza
Halloween is around the corner, and my boys are excited about it. I wanted to make something quick that is also delicious and spooky at the same time so that kids can have fun with their friends. Therefore, I decided to make this coin bread pizza or spider pizza.
Instead of making pizza dough or bringing home store-bought dough, I am using bread slices that are cut into a round shape as the base for this pizza.
Try this spider pizza for Halloween, and I am sure kids are going to love these.
Ingredients
24 Bread Slices
½ cup Pizza Sauce
200 grams of Mozzarella cheese, grate
36 Black olives
How to make Spooky Halloween Pizza for Kids
How to make spiders from olives?
Cut some olives lengthwise into halves and use them as the spider's body. Cut some more olives into halves (not lengthwise) and use these as the head.
Next, cut some more olives lengthwise into halves, and then each half into thin slices to make spider legs.
You can see from the pictures that I have placed a few olives over the pizza (to form spiders) before baking and a few after baking. I recommend arranging the olives over the pizza after baking, or else the olives will drift apart when the cheese melts in the oven.
Arrange the base
Using a cookie cutter or round-shaped bowl or lid of a container, cut bread slices into rounds and keep them aside. You can use leftover sides of the bread in other recipes such as bread pudding, bread upma, croutons, bread crumbs, etc.
Coin bread pizza or Spooky Halloween pizza in the oven
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line the baking pan with parchment paper. Arrange the bread slices in the baking pan.
Spread about a teaspoon of pizza sauce, followed by grated mozzarella cheese on each bread slice.
Bake this for 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
Once they are out of the oven, arrange the olives into spiders, as shown in the video here. Place the head and body and then thin slices of olives to represent the legs of a spider.
Serve and enjoy. Happy Halloween 2022.
Coin bread pizza on Stovetop
Heat pan (tava / griddle / skillet) on medium-low flame. Place the coin bread slices. Once hot, flip and switch off the flame to avoid burning. Spread the pizza sauce, followed by grated cheese. Cover the pan with a lid.
Turn on the flame to medium-low and cook until the cheese melts.
Remove them from the pan and transfer these to a serving tray. Arrange the olives over each coin pizza like spiders. Serve and enjoy.
Coin bread pizza on Airfryer
Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees F. Spread the pizza sauce on top of the bread slices, followed by mozzarella cheese. Air fry for 5 minutes or until the cheese melts and the bottom becomes golden.
Remove them and arrange the olives like spiders. Serve and enjoy.
