Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Combine 2 cups flour, undissolved yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Add very warm water and oil; mix until well blended, about 1 minute.
- Gradually add enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Dough should form a ball and will be slightly sticky. Knead** on a floured surface, adding additional flour if necessary, until smooth and elastic, about 4 minutes. Divide dough into 8 portions; cover. (If using RapidRise Yeast, let dough rise at this point for 10 minutes.)
- Pat each portion of dough with floured hands into an 8-inch circle on a greased baking sheet. Form a rim by pinching the edge of the dough. Add a second crust to the same baking sheet.
- Bake for 6 to 7 minutes, dough will be just set and only lightly browned on the bottom. Remove crusts to a wire rack to cool. Continue with remaining pizza dough. (Works best to use several baking sheets.) May use crusts immediately or place in freezer bags and freeze for up to 1 month.
- When ready to bake, preheat oven to 475 degrees F. Spread each crust with pizza sauce. Top with desired toppings to make Halloween designs! Repeat with remaining pizzas. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 6 to 8 minutes, until cheese is melted and lightly browned and bottom of crust is browned.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your mini pizzas. Use fresh, flavorful ingredients whenever possible.
- Don't overload the pizzas: Too many toppings can make the pizzas soggy. Stick to a few simple toppings that you enjoy.
- Bake the pizzas until the crust is golden brown: This will help to ensure that the pizzas are cooked through and crispy.
- Let the pizzas cool slightly before serving: This will help to prevent the cheese from becoming rubbery.
- Pack the pizzas in individual containers: This will help to keep them fresh and prevent them from getting soggy.
