Ingredients

Pizza Base

  • 18 ounces pizza dough
  • 1 handful of semolina flour

Sauce

  • ½ cup marinara sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • Optional: garlic powder, onion powder, salt to taste

Toppings

  • 8 ounces vegan mozzarella cheese
  • 8 black and green olives (more as desired)
  • Optional: extra-virgin olive oil to drizzle

Instructions

  1. Prepare dough: If making pizza dough from scratch, prepare it ahead of time as many recipes require a day to rise. If using store-bought dough, follow the package instructions. Preheat your oven and a baking tray to 250°C (480°F). Coat the tray and your hands in semolina flour. Spread out the dough into a 14-inch (35 cm) round pizza base by pressing and pulling gently without rolling to keep the crust airy. Place the dough on the baking tray and let it rest while preparing toppings.
  2. Prepare toppings: In a small bowl, pour marinara sauce and mix in the Italian seasoning. Let it sit to infuse the flavors—feel free to add garlic powder, onion powder, and salt as desired. Thinly slice the vegan mozzarella and cut into ghost shapes using a ghost-shaped cookie cutter or a paring knife. Slice olives to create spider shapes: one olive half for the body, and another olive cut into 8 thin slices for legs. Optional: use food coloring markers or small black olive pieces to make eyes on the cheese ghosts.
  3. Bake the pizza: Spread the marinara sauce evenly on the pizza crust. Arrange the cheese ghost shapes on top, adding eyes as desired. Assemble olive spiders by placing one olive half for the body and surrounding it with leg slices; food tweezers can help with precision. Reduce the oven temperature to 220°C (425°F). Bake the pizza in the oven for 15 minutes or until the crust is browned and cooked through. Once baked, sprinkle with additional Italian seasoning and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Storage: Refrigerate leftovers within one to two days in an airtight container or wrapped tightly to prevent sogginess. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-20 minutes, optionally broil briefly for a crispier crust.
  • Freezing: It is best enjoyed fresh as freezing is not recommended to preserve texture and flavor.
  • You can customize seasoning in the marinara sauce to suit your taste preferences by adding garlic, onion powder, or salt.
  • Using semolina flour on both the baking tray and your hands prevents the dough from sticking and helps create a crispy base.
