Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to a sizzling 475°F (245°C). Take your pizza dough out of the fridge to let it reach room temperature.
  2. On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a circle or rectangle about half an inch thick, then transfer it onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Spoon pizza sauce onto the rolled-out dough, leaving about an inch around the edges for the crust.
  4. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, covering it completely.
  5. Use pepperoni slices for eyes, olives for pupils, and arrange bell peppers for hair. Creatively design unique monster faces.
  6. Bake your Monster Face Pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.

Notes

Allow dough to rest for 20 minutes to prevent tearing. Use a preheated pizza stone for a crispier crust. Keep toppings balanced to avoid sogginess.
