Ingredients
Crescent dough sheet or mini pitas
Pizza sauce (smooth), about 1/3 cup per 8 minis
String mozzarella, pulled into thin strands
Large black olives, halved for bodies and sliced for legs
Optional: shredded mozzarella base sprinkle
Optional: garlic powder or garlic butter
Instructions
1. Preheat oven: 350–400°F depending on base for quick melt.
2. Cut rounds: Seal perforations on crescent dough and punch 2–3 inch circles; place on sheet.
3. Sauce lightly: Spread a thin layer so the web shows and base stays crisp.
4. Make the web: Lay mozzarella strands in a starburst, then add two concentric rings.
5. Bake: 10–12 minutes for crescent rounds; shorter for crackers, longer for pitas, until melted.
6. Assemble spiders: Add olive head and body with 6–8 leg slices; return 2–3 minutes to set.
7. Rest briefly: 2 minutes to set lines; serve hot for best texture and design.
Notes
Par-bake large pizza bases, then add web and spiders; finish 2–3 minutes to set lines.
Keep sauce thin to prevent web bleeding.
Batch bake for parties; hold at 200°F up to 15 minutes.
