Description
A spooky and delicious Halloween party recipe! This cemetery flatbread pizza is topped with mozzarella ghosts, olive gravestones, and roasted cauliflower for a hauntingly good bite.
Ingredients
1 pound flatbread dough (homemade or store-bought)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup pizza sauce
3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
8 slices of mozzarella cheese (cut into ghost shapes with a cookie cutter or freehand)
½ cup black olives (whole and sliced)
1 cup cauliflower florets (small bite-sized pieces)
Fresh parsley or cilantro, for garnish
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C).
Lightly oil a large baking sheet.
Roll out the flatbread dough into a rectangle to fit the pan.
Brush the dough with olive oil.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a ½-inch border.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Arrange the cauliflower florets evenly across the flatbread.
Bake for 8 minutes, until the cheese begins to melt and the edges start to crisp.
Remove from the oven.
Place the mozzarella ghost cutouts on top of the melted cheese.
Press sliced black olives into the ghosts to create eyes and mouths.
Add whole or halved black olives around the flatbread to resemble gravestones.
Return to the oven and bake for 5–7 minutes more, until the ghosts are melted but still hold their shape and the crust is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish.
Slice into squares and serve warm.
Notes
Use a ghost cookie cutter for perfectly spooky cheese shapes, or carve them freehand for a rustic haunted look.
Want even more Halloween flair? Add red pepper flakes for a “bloody” kick or arrange cauliflower to resemble bones.
Serve alongside a Halloween punch or themed snacks for a full fright-night spread.
