13 Nights of Halloween

13 Nights of Halloween – Night 11

On this 11th day of the 13 Nights of Halloween I bring you a spooky black widow bread bowl!! To make this easy peasy bread bowl, simply make your favorite pizza dough recipe (l like the King Arthur recipe) and add in black food coloring! I use my homemade marinara sauce but feel free to use whatever you like.
