Ingredients :

For the Pizza Dough:

1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- Homemade Pizza Dough (if you prefer homemade):
  - 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  - 1/2 teaspoon active dry yeast
  - 1/2 teaspoon salt
  - 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  - 3/4 cup warm water
  - 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the Toppings:

1/2 cup pizza sauce (or marinara sauce)
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (for the “snowman” body and head)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for extra flavor)
1/2 cup sliced black olives (for the eyes, buttons, and mouth)
1 small carrot (peeled, for the snowman’s nose, cut into a small cone shape)
2 small bell peppers (red or orange, for the scarf)
1/4 cup sliced green onions or parsley (for the snowman’s “arms”)
1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing on the dough)
Salt and pepper (to taste)
Optional: fresh basil leaves (for decoration)

Instructions :

1. Prepare the Pizza Dough (if using homemade):

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, salt, and sugar. Add the warm water and olive oil, then mix until the dough comes together.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
After the dough has risen, punch it down, and divide it into 3 portions for the snowman’s body and head.

2. Preheat the Oven :

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) , or follow the instructions on your pizza dough package if using store-bought dough.

3. Shape the Pizza :

Roll out the dough into 3 circles, one large (for the body), one medium (for the middle), and one small (for the head). Arrange the circles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, placing the largest circle at the bottom and stacking the others on top to form the snowman’s shape.
Brush the dough lightly with olive oil.

4. Assemble the Snowman Pizza :

Spread a layer of pizza sauce evenly ov
Sprinkle the shredded mozzar
Add a small sprinkle of Parmesan cheese for extra flavor if desired.

5. Add the Snowman Features :

Eyes and Buttons : Place black olives on the pizza to create the snowman’s eyes and buttons. You can use slices of olive for the eyes and whole olives for the buttons down the body.
Nose : Slice the carrot into a small cone shape and place it in the center of the top pizza (the snowman’s head) for th
Mouth : Slice black olives and arrange them into a smiling mouth.
Scarf : Use bell pepper slices (cut into thin strips) to create a scarf around the snowman’s neck, wrapping it around the middle pizza.
Arms : Slice green onions or parsley into small “branch” shapes and place them on either side of the middle pizza for the arms.

6. Bake the Snowman Pizza :

Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes , or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
Keep an eye on the pizza to make sure the edges don’t burn.

7. Serve :

Once the pizza is baked and the cheese is melted to perfection, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
If you like, you can garnish the snowman pizza with fresh basil leaves for an extra touch of green.

Tips :

Personalize the Features : You can get creative with the toppings! Use pepperoni slices for buttons, a slice of bell pepper for the nose, or even a slice of pineapple for a bright scarf.
Mini Snowman Pizzas : For a fun variation, make individual-sized snowman pizzas using smaller portions of dough.
Vegan Option : For a vegan snowman pizza, use dairy-free cheese and skip the Parmesan.
