Preheat oven to 475 degrees F. Grease a large flat baking sheet with olive
oil. Separate 1/3 of the dough and set aside. On a greased baking sheet shape
the remaining two-thirds of the dough into a butterfly with 2 wings. Roll the
reserved piece of dough into a "snake" and position in the center of the two
wings as the "body". Pull some of the "body" dough up to shape into a "head" and
pull some of the "body" dough down for a "tail."
Spread sauce over the "wings". Sprinkle with cheese and decorate with
toppings of choice.
Bake the pizza on the middle rack of the oven for 20 to 30 minutes until
crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbly. Serve warm.
As an alternative the dough can be divided into 4 pieces and then shaped
into bug or creature of choice, i.e. spider with legs, ladybug, dragonfly,
snake, etc...
Yield: 1 large pizza or 4 individual pizzas
