Ingredients
- 12 Piece button mushrooms same size
- 1 Piece pizza dough rectangular, *see notes
- 6 Tablespoon tomato sauce *see notes
- ½ Teaspoon salt
- 2 Teaspoon pizza seasoning or Italian seasoning or oregano
- 1 Cup shredded cheese
- olive oil dash
Instructions
- Prep and clean your mushrooms. Cut off any bad mushroom stem ends and parts that look off color and bad.
- Cut mushrooms into half and place them next to each other on your cutting board.
- Create the eyes by pushing into the soft mushroom head with your straw. Create the skull teeth by pressing lines into your mushroom stem with a cake fork. Keep skull mushrooms aside.
- Preheat oven to 400 Fahrenheit/ 200 Celsius.
- Roll out or open up the pizza dough/crust over parchment paper. It should fit into a rectangular oven tray.
- Cut the rectangular pizza crust into 24 same-sized squares. Separate them from each other.
- Spread the tomato sauce over each pizza square and season with salt and pizza seasoning (or Italian seasoning or oregano).
- Place and slightly press in a mushroom skull in the center of each square.
- Sprinkle and spread grated cheese over them. Try to not cover the mushrooms with cheese, so that the skulls are visible.
- Sprinkle a dash of olive oil over the unbaked pizza bites.
- Bake mini skull pizzas at 400 Fahrenheit/ 200 Celsius for about 12 minutes or until they are baked and ready to be devoured.
- Serve up hot.

Notes
- Use homemade classic pizza dough, instant no-yeast pizza dough or store-bought pizza crust. To speed up the process, I used store-bought pizza dough in the video and images.
- For the tomato sauce use plain pizza sauce or red sauce or whatever you call it. It's also known as tomato passata if it's an Italian product.
