Ingredients

Pizza Base

  • 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • Olive oil for brushing

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup sliced black olives (for eyes and nose)
  • 1 small red bell pepper (for the bunny’s mouth and cheeks)
  • 1 small cucumber (for bunny’s whiskers and ears)
  • 1 medium carrot (for the bunny’s nose)
  • Fresh parsley or basil (for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the Pizza Dough: On a floured surface, roll out your pizza dough into a large circle or oval shape. Transfer the dough gently onto the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Form the Bunny Shape: Shape the pizza dough into an oval to represent the bunny’s face. For the ears, form two elongated pieces of dough and attach them to the top of the oval body carefully.
  4. Spread Pizza Sauce: Evenly distribute the pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
  5. Add the Cheese: Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, covering the entire surface to ensure a cheesy base.
  6. Create the Bunny’s Eyes and Nose: Use sliced black olives to make two circles for the eyes and a small dot in the center for the nose.
  7. Form the Bunny’s Mouth: Cut a thin, slightly curved slice of red bell pepper and position it below the nose to mimic the bunny’s mouth.
  8. Add Cheeks: Place small pieces of red bell pepper on each side of the mouth to represent cheeks.
  9. Add Whiskers: Cut thin strips of cucumber and arrange them around the bunny’s face as whiskers.
  10. Create the Bunny’s Ears: Place cucumber slices shaped like long ears at the top of the dough. Add carrot slices inside for color and detail.
  11. Bake the Pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, until the crust turns golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  12. Finishing Touches: Remove the pizza from the oven and brush the crust with olive oil to add shine and flavor. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil for color and aroma.
  13. Serve: Slice up your charming Bunny Pizza and serve warm. Enjoy this delightful and creative meal with family and friends.

Notes

  • Use a pizza stone if available to get a crispier crust.
  • If you prefer a gluten-free option, substitute the pizza dough accordingly.
  • Fresh vegetables add vibrant colors, but you can customize toppings based on preference.
  • To make this recipe kid-friendly, involve children in decorating the bunny’s face.
  • Store leftover pizza in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven for the best texture.
