Good to know

Chef's tip

For an even scarier effect, add a little black food coloring to the tomato sauce to intensify the contrast with the ghosts! 🎃

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Yes

Freezes very well, baked. Up to 2 months, wrapped individually in plastic wrap and then in a freezer bag.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Keeps 2 to 3 days max once baked, in an airtight container in the fridge.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

Pizza dough can be made the day before (slow fermentation in the fridge improves the flavor).

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Oven (180°C, 5-7 min to crisp up). Air fryer (160°C, 3-5 min). Microwave possible but softens the dough.

Variations

Use pepperoni instead of chorizo.
Cut the mozzarella with a cookie cutter for more even ghosts.
Add black olive slices to make the ghosts' eyes.

Mistakes to avoid

Spreading the sauce all the way to the edge: leave about 1 cm of crust.
Baking too long: the ghosts melt slightly, so bake for 15 minutes only.
Serving it piping hot: let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
