Spooky Spiderweb Pizza

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 450℉. Preheat a pizza stone or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. To prepare your black olive spiders, slice one black olive in half vertically. Keep one half in tact. Thinly slice the other half horizontally. Repeat with another olive if you need to, so you have 8 slices that are all the same length. Keep these ready until it’s time to add them to our pizza!

3. Evenly sprinkle cheese on pizza crust. Pat it down so your cheese is level across the whole pizza.

4. Place in the oven for 3-4 minutes, until cheese is halfway melted. Remove from oven.

5. Cut off the corner of the sauce packet. Make sure it’s a large enough hole that the herbs in the sauce can fit through.

6. To make a spiderweb pattern on your pizza, pipe 3 rings of sauce around the pizza, and then one dot in the center. Using a butter knife, start from the center dot and draw the knife outwards to link up all the way to the outer circle. Repeat all the way around the pizza.

7. To add your spider olives to the pizza, place the whole half on your pizza. Place 4 shorter pieces to the left, and 4 shorter pieces to the right, to be the spider’s legs.

8. Place pizza back in the oven for about 5 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.

9. Remove from oven and top with chopped fresh basil.
