I made these mini spiced pizzas for our Halloween party. I used my favouritepizza dough recipe, but you can use your own, or even a Ready Rolled Pizza Dough Base from the supermarkets. Same with the pizza sauce – you canmake your ownor use a jar or tin of pizza topping sauce from the shops. The mini pizzas are really easy and fun to make – they are very tasty too!

You’ll need:

• 1 pizza dough  ( about 300g)
• Mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup tomato Pizza sauce
• Black olives, pitted

How to make the mini spider pizzas:

1. Preheat the oven to 200c°C.
2. Line a baking sheet with baking paper or grease a non-stick tray with little oil.
3. Roll out the pizza dough thinly and, using a 6 cm round cookie cutter or a glass, cut out mini pizza bases.
4. Place the pizza bases on the baking sheet.
5. Spread some sauce on top of each pizza.
6. Cut the mozzarella into thin rounds and put these on the pizzas (make sure they don’t overlap the base).
7. Bake for about 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden.
8. Remove the mini pizzas from the oven. Let them cool then put them on a platter.
9. Cut the olives in half. Use some of these as the body of the spiders, then cut a few more into very thin slices –  these will be the legs.
10. Arrange the olives on top of the mini pizzas creating the spiders.
11. Serve and enjoy the spooky mini spider pizzas!
