Ingredients
– 1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
– 1/2 cup tomato sauce
– 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
– 1/4 cup black olives, sliced (for eyes and details)
– 1 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced (for a mouth or accents)
– 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Salt and pepper, to taste
For bunny details:
– 4-6 thin strips of pepperoni or zucchini slices (for ears)
– Optional: 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese for garnish
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a pizza pan or baking sheet.
2. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a large circle. Transfer it to the prepared pan.
3. Using a knife or pizza cutter, trim the dough to form a bunny silhouette—create two ear shapes at the top and a rounded head.
4. Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
5. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce.
6. Arrange the cherry tomato halves, olive slices, and red bell pepper pieces to form the bunny’s eyes, nose, and mouth. Place the basil leaves as accents.
7. Lay the pepperoni or zucchini strips along the top edge to mimic bunny ears.
8. Drizzle with olive oil, and season lightly with salt and pepper.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
10. Remove from the oven, garnish with grated Parmesan if desired, slice, and serve warm.
