# What You'll Need:
→ Dough
01 -
1 package (17.3 oz) frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
→ Sauce and Toppings
02 -
1 cup marinara sauce
03 -
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
04 -
1/2 cup pepperoni slices
→ Egg Wash
05 -
1 large egg
06 -
1 tablespoon water
# Directions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 400°F. Allow puff pastry sheets to thaw at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes until pliable.
02 -
Cut 4 ghost shapes from each sheet to create 8 total. Arrange 4 ghosts on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
03 -
Spoon 2 tablespoons marinara sauce onto the center of each ghost base, leaving a 1/4-inch border. Top each with 3 to 4 pepperoni slices and 2 to 3 tablespoons shredded mozzarella cheese.
04 -
Use a round piping tip to punch out two eyes and a mouth in the remaining 4 ghost shapes. Place each top over a filled base and gently press the edges with your fingers to seal.
05 -
In a small bowl, whisk the egg and 1 tablespoon water together with a fork. Brush the tops of each ghost with the egg wash.
06 -
Bake for 13 to 15 minutes or until pastry is golden brown and fully cooked. Let cool on the baking sheet for 3 to 5 minutes before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
For best results, use chilled puff pastry and avoid overfilling to maintain defined ghost shapes.
