Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Baking Pan: Grease the skull baking tin with a generous layer of cooking spray.
  2. Dough Prep: Roll out your pre-made pizza dough on a floured surface until it's 1/4-inch thick and cut into 6 rectangles.
  3. Fill the Skulls: Press each rectangle of dough into the skull cavities and layer with pizza sauce, shredded mozzarella, and desired toppings.
  4. Seal the Skulls: Place another piece of dough on top and pinch the edges firmly to create a seal.
  5. Chill Dough: Refrigerate the tray for 15-20 minutes while preheating the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  6. Bake: Bake for 16-20 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
  7. Cool & Serve: Let cool for 5 minutes, unmold, and serve with marinara sauce.
