Ingredients

· 4 1/2 ounces low moisture part skim mozzarella, shredded (about 1 cup plus 2 Tbsp.)
· 3/4 cup pizza sauce, plus more for serving

Directions
Step 1-
Gather all ingredients
Step 2-
Preheat oven to 400℉. Working on a clean surface, roll out dough to a 15- x 10-inch rectangle. Cut dough into 6 (5- x 5-inch) squares
Step 3-
Working with one piece of dough at a time, lay one square of dough in one cavity of a nonstick 6-cavity skull-shaped cakelet pan.
(For the pan, I recommend these pans)
Step 4-
Fill the dough by layering 1 tablespoon mozzarella, 1 tablespoon pizza sauce, 1 tablespoon pepperoni, 1 tablespoon mozzarella, 1 tablespoon pizza sauce, 1 tablespoon mozzarella, 1 tablespoon parmesan, and 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning in the center of the dough square.
(For extra flavor, mix in some extra seasoning with your sauce or add garlic powder)
Step 5-
Fold sides of dough together and pinch tightly to seal, trimming and discarding any excess dough if necessary.
Step 6-
Repeat filling and sealing process with remaining dough squares and remaining cheese, pizza sauce, pepperoni, and Italian seasoning.
Step 7-
Bake in preheated oven until baked through and lightly golden, 16 to 18 minutes.
(You can add melted butter and garlic on top for more flavor as well)
Step 8-
Carefully remove baked skulls from pan and transfer to a serving plate. Let cool 5 minutes before serving with additional pizza sauce for dipping, if desired.
