Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Base

  • 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • Olive oil for brushing

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup sliced black olives (for eyes and nose)
  • 1 small red bell pepper (for the bunny’s mouth and cheeks)
  • 1 small cucumber (for bunny’s whiskers and ears)
  • 1 medium carrot (for the bunny’s nose)
  • Fresh parsley or basil (for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the Pizza Dough: Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface into a large circle or oval shape, then transfer it onto your prepared baking sheet.
  3. Form the Bunny Shape: Gently reshape the pizza dough into an oval to mimic the bunny’s face. Create two elongated pieces from dough to form ears and position them on top of the main dough body.
  4. Spread Pizza Sauce: Evenly spread the pizza sauce all over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges to define the crust.
  5. Add the Cheese: Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, covering the surface thoroughly.
  6. Create the Bunny’s Face: Use slices of black olives to form the bunny’s eyes and place a small olive piece as the bunny’s nose in the center.
  7. Create the Mouth: Cut a thin curved slice of red bell pepper and place it just below the nose to represent the bunny’s mouth.
  8. Add Cheeks: Cut small pieces of red bell pepper and position them on each side of the mouth to mimic cheeks.
  9. Form Whiskers: Cut thin strips of cucumber and arrange them around the bunny’s face to resemble whiskers.
  10. Create the Bunny’s Ears: Arrange cucumber slices on top of the dough for the ears. Add carrot slices inside the cucumber ears for a colorful effect.
  11. Bake the Pizza: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes or until the crust turns golden and cheese is melted and bubbly.
  12. Finishing Touches: Remove the pizza from the oven, brush the crust with olive oil to add shine and flavor, then garnish with fresh parsley or basil.
  13. Serve: Slice the Bunny Pizza and enjoy this adorable, tasty creation with your family and friends.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh vegetables to create vibrant bunny features.
  • Feel free to customize toppings according to your preference or dietary needs.
  • If you don’t have a pizza stone, a baking sheet or pizza pan works perfectly.
  • Keep an eye on the pizza during baking to avoid overcooking the crust or burning the toppings.
  • Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to slice the pizza cleanly without disturbing the decorative design.
