Instructions

Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 200°C (392°F) to ensure it’s at the perfect temperature for baking the mini pizzas.
Make the dough: In a mixing bowl, add the self-raising flour and natural yogurt. Stir them together until they come together to form a dough. Then lightly flour your work surface and gently knead the dough until smooth and elastic.
Shape the pizzas: Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Using your palm, press each portion into a small pizza shape and place them on a lightly floured baking tray to prevent sticking.
Prepare the tomato sauce: Mix the tomato puree, dried oregano, crushed garlic, and water in a bowl until smooth and well combined to create a flavorful sauce.
Assemble the pizzas: Spread the prepared tomato sauce evenly over each pizza base. Thinly slice the buffalo mozzarella and cut each slice into mini ghost shapes. Place the ghost-shaped cheese slices on top of the pizzas.
Add the eyes and mouth: Cut tiny pieces from the black olives to represent the eyes and mouth of the ghost shapes, arranging them carefully on the cheese.
Bake the pizzas: Place the baking tray in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the dough is cooked through and golden.
Serve: Remove the pizzas from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving warm.

Notes

For a crispier base, you can pre-bake the dough shapes for 3-4 minutes before adding the sauce and toppings.
If you don’t have self-raising flour, you can substitute plain flour with 1½ tsp baking powder.
Use whole black olives or sliced olives depending on the size and shape you prefer for the eyes and mouth.
These mini pizzas are perfect for kids’ parties or as a fun snack with a spooky theme.
Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven for best texture.
