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.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Make the roasted garlic butter: Drizzle the halved head of garlic with the olive oil and wrap tightly in aluminum foil.
- Transfer to the oven to bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the garlic cloves are golden and tender. Set aside to cool completely. Squeeze the garlic cloves into a bowl and mash into a paste using a fork. Add the melted butter and stir to combine. Keep in a warm place until ready to use. If the garlic butter solidifies, microwave for 15-20 seconds before using.
- Make the deep dish pizzas: Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick spray.
- On a lightly floured surface, unroll the pizza dough and roll out slightly. Cut the dough lengthwise into quarters and crosswise into thirds so you have 12 squares total.
- Gently shape each piece of dough into a circle, then place into a prepared muffin cup, pressing the dough flush against the bottom and sides. Brush each dough cup with the roasted garlic butter.
- To 4 of the dough cups, add 1 tablespoon shredded mozzarella and 2 slices of pepperoni. Top with 1 tablespoon pizza sauce and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan to create mini Chicago-style deep dish pizzas.
- To another 4 dough cups, add 1 tablespoon pizza sauce, 1 tablespoon Italian sausage, ½ tablespoon diced green pepper, and ½ tablespoon diced onion. Finish with 1 tablespoon of shredded mozzarella to create mini Italian sausage and pepper deep dish pizzas.
- To the remaining 4 dough cups, add 4 cherry tomato halves and 1 tablespoon shredded mozzarella to each to create mini caprese deep dish pizzas.
- Transfer the pizzas to the oven to bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a serving platter. Drizzle the caprese pizzas with balsamic glaze and garnish with the basil.
- Serve warm.
- Enjoy!

POLENTA MINI PIZZAS
This is a tasty snack or lunch that I came up with after reading the suggestion on the back of a polenta tube. This is how I made it, but you could also use mozzarella in place of the ricotta, add some pepperoni, etc. These would also make really cute appetizers.

Steps:
- Preheat broiler.
- Heat olive oil on griddle or in frying pan on medium/medium high.
- Slice polenta into six 1/2 inch rounds.
- Fry polenta according to package directions. If there are no directions for frying, fry 5 minutes per side.
- Remove from griddle/pan, and place on a baking sheet. Prepare each slice like you would a pizza, layering 1 tablespoon pasta sauce, a basil leaf, 1 tablespoon ricotta, then 1 teaspoon parmesan. Broil 2-4 minutes until lightly browned.
- Note: Be careful when removing from the oven, especially if you're using a flat baking sheet. The polenta likes to slide around! Serve.
