Ingredients

  • 1 can refrigerated Pillsbury pizza dough
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup mini pepperoni slices
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten (for egg wash)
  • Green bell pepper stems (for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the pizza dough and use a pumpkin-shaped cookie cutter to cut out an even number of shapes.
  3. On half of the pumpkin cutouts, spread a spoonful of pizza sauce, sprinkle mozzarella, and top with mini pepperoni slices.
  4. Cover each topped pumpkin with another dough cutout. Press the edges together with a fork to seal.
  5. Brush each pumpkin with egg wash and use a knife to lightly carve pumpkin lines on top (optional).
  6. Place a small piece of green bell pepper at the top for a pumpkin stem.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!

Notes

You can switch up the fillings with cooked sausage, mushrooms, or your favorite pizza toppings.
