How to Make Spider Cheese Bread for Halloween

This fun recipe uses everyday items like pizza dough and cheese, transforming them into a festive Halloween treat.

Ingredients:

• 2 cans of pizza dough (like Pillsbury)
• Shredded cheese (your choice of type)
• 2 tablespoons butter
• Garlic powder or seasoning of your choice
• 8 mini pepperoni slices OR 8 black olive slices (for the spider’s eyes)

Instructions:

Prep the Dough: Open both cans of pizza dough and roll each out into a rectangle. Place one rectangle on a pizza pan.

Add Cheese: Evenly sprinkle shredded cheese on the dough rectangle that’s on the pizza pan.

Form the Sandwich: Lay the second rectangle of dough on top of the cheese-covered dough, creating a sandwich. Press down lightly with your hands to seal the edges.

Shape the Spider: Use a pizza cutter to cut lines to form the head, body (a better word than ‘butt’), and 8 legs of the spider. With your fingers, gently round out the head and body to make them more distinct.

Twist the Legs: Carefully lift each leg, twist it, and then lay it back down on the pan. Position the legs so they look like they have a slight bend at the knee, mimicking the way a spider’s legs appear.

Add Seasoning: Melt the butter and brush it over the entire spider. Sprinkle with garlic powder or your chosen seasoning.

Place the Eyes: Add the eyes by pressing either mini pepperoni slices or black olive slices into the dough at the head.

Bake: Bake your spider in a preheated oven at 400°F for about 20 minutes or until it’s golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Serve and Enjoy: Serve your spider cheese bread with marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or your favorite dipping sauce. It’s perfect for munching on before heading out for trick-or-treating!

This Spider Cheese Bread is not only a tasty treat but also a fun way to engage everyone in the kitchen.

Kids and adults alike can enjoy crafting the spider shape and then devouring their creation.

It’s a perfect appetizer for any Halloween gathering and pairs well with a night of spooky stories or a costume party.

So, grab your ingredients and get ready to bake a creepy-crawly snack that everyone will remember. Happy Halloween, and happy baking!
