Instructions

Stay Awake

(Stops screen from sleeping)

1 Heat the oven to 180°C.

2 Spread pizza paste onto each pita bread. Cut the edam slices into thin strips and arrange them to resemble spokes of a wheel. Arrange the grated mozzarella between the edam cheese strips to resemble concentric circles of a spider’s web. To make a spider, use a pickle slice for the body, 3 capers per leg (8 legs per spider).

3 Bake for 10 minutes to melt the cheese.

Variations

• Instead of pita bread, use sliced-up bread rolls, or cut out circles from wholegrain bread with a cookie cutter.
• You can make spiders from black or green olives, too — one pitted olive for the body, another sliced up for legs.
• Red spiders can be made using sun-dried tomatoes.
