#69: Star Pizza


I found this recipe in my All You Magazine in October.  This was supposed to be a Halloween recipe, but we never got around to making it, so I decided to make it tonight using star cookie cutters for the cheese instead of ghosts.  (Brian was totally opposed to using X-mas cookie cutters yet!)

It wasn't anything special, besides just having home made pizza, but we would definitely make it again.  Although I think we'd need to make 2 for our family.

Ingredients


1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound frozen pizza dough, thawed
3/4 cup jarred tomato sauce (we used pizza sauce)
8 ounces sliced low-moisture mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon capers

1. Preheat oven to 475ºF. Brush bottom of a 16-by-11-inch rimmed baking sheet with olive oil. Press and stretch dough evenly to cover bottom of sheet. (If dough resists at first, let it rest for a minute and then continue.)  We found it was easiest for Brian and I to both stretch/pull the dough together.


2. Spread sauce in an even layer over dough, leaving a 1-inch border around all sides. Bake until underside of dough is golden (lift up pizza with a spatula and take a peek), about 15 minutes. Use a ghost-shaped cookie cutter to cut ghosts from cheese. Place ghosts on top of hot pizza and bake for 5 minutes. Place two capers on each piece of cheese for eyes. Let stand 5 minutes on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
