MINI JACK-O'-LANTERN PIZZAS

Servings: 12

12 grape or cherry tomatoes, halved lengthwise
12 pitted black olives, quartered lengthwise
6 slices (about 3 ounces) Canadian bacon, halved
20-ounce ball prepared pizza dough, room temperature, divided into 12 portions
8-ounce can tomato sauce with basil and oregano
2 cups shredded, reduced-fat orange cheddar cheese

Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Spray 2 baking sheets with cooking spray.

To make eyes, place the tomatoes cut-side down on a cutting board.
Using the tip of a sharp paring knife, make a1/4-inch slit through
the center of each tomato. Stuff an olive quarter into each slit to
make the pupils.

To make mouths, trim each half of Canadian bacon into a
jack-o'-lantern- style mouth. On a lightly floured surface, using a
rolling pin, roll each piece of dough into a 5-inch wide round, then
transfer to one of the prepared baking sheets.

To make the pizzas, coat each round of dough with tomato sauce and
sprinkle evenly with cheese. Arrange the mouths and eyes on the
pizza. Additional olive quarters can be used as fangs. Bake until the
crusts are browned and the cheese is melted, about 8 to 12 minutes.
