Halloween spider pizzas

Whip up these fun pizzas for a Halloween party. There are plenty of ways to make the spiders on top – we’ve used olives and salami but peppers work well too

1 pack pizza base mix plain flour, for dusting

120ml passata or tomato pasta sauce

1 garlic clove, crushed

150g grated mozzarella 25g-50g parmesan, grated 4 large pitted black olives 6 small slices salami or chorizo 8 small capers, drained

1

Make the pizza dough following pack instructions. Tip the dough onto a floured surface, flour your hands, then gently knead the dough for about 2 mins until fairly even, soft and bouncy. Return the dough to the bowl, cover with oiled cling film, then let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 hr). While the dough proves, mix the passata and garlic in a bowl.

2

Heat oven to 240C/220C fan/ gas 9 or as hot as it will go. Dust two baking sheets with flour. Split the dough into eight, then roll four balls into thin, rough circles. Lift onto the floured sheets. Smear a thin layer of the tomato sauce on top of each and scatter over the mozzarella and parmesan.

Halve each olive and put four halves, cut-side down on four pizzas – these are the spider bodies. Cut the rest of the olive them to make the legs of the halves into thin strips, then spiders.
