Quick Bites: Spooky Halloween pizzas (makes 6-8)

You’ll need

400g strong white bread flour

½ tbsp fine sea salt

1 heaped tsp sugar

1 sachet yeast

250ml warm water

300g tomato purée

Two Mozzarella balls, or a firm cheese such as cheddar or double Gloucester

100g grated Mozzarella

2 tbsp olive oil

Any other topping you fancy

Method

Mix water with the yeast and sugar.

Mix flour and sea salt. Pour on a clean surface and make a well in the middle.

Once the yeast starts to foam, add to the flour and start to combine. When all the liquid is added, knead for 10 mins.

Place in a bowl lightly greased with olive oil and cover with damp tea towel in a warm place for around 45 mins until it’s doubled in size.

Once proved, divide the dough into 6-8 balls and flatten slightly. Rest for 10 mins.

Preheat the oven to 220C.

Once the dough has rested, roll out into circles. Place on a baking tray and evenly spread over the tomato purée. Make sure you leave a 2cm gap from the edge for the crust.

Try making a spider’s web with the grated cheese. Make spiders out of olives, or ghosts out of Mozzarella!

Once decorated, leave in the oven for around 10-14 mins.
