Spooky Fall Flavours: Haunted Skulls Pizza Pockets

Steps

Halloween is finally here and I'm so pumped to bring this recipe back from the dead! The details make this recipe look difficult on the surface, but really, this is a fun and easy recipe you can do with your spouse, kids, or friends. These pizza skulls are always a hit at the Halloween party or as an appetizer for dinner around spooky season. 

You will need to find a skull pizza/baking pan, but these are very easy to come by during October. I'm cooking this on the Big Green Egg, but any ceramic barbecue will do fine. 

Let's Get Started:

1. Set the EGG for indirect cooking with the convEGGtor at 375˚F. Spray your skull cake pan with cooking spray and set aside. 

2. Unroll pizza dough and press into a 15x10 tin rectangle. Cut into 6 strips. Drape each strip into the skull cavity of your pan. Fill with cheese, top with 1 tablespoon of sauce, pepperoni slices and sausage. Top with more cheese. 

3. Fold dough over and press seams to seal and make a pocket. 

4. Back for 18 to 20 minutes in the EGG, or until golden brown.

5. Remove the baking pan from the EGG and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Unmold and serve with marinara sauce and chopped fresh herbs.

Enjoy and remember, you got this!
