Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out your pizza dough to about ¼-inch thickness.
Cut the dough into long strips, each approximately 1 inch wide.
Take four strips of dough and twist them gently to create eight legs for each spider.
Pinch the tops where they meet to form a body, then place a black olive on each twisted section.
Beat the large egg until smooth and apply the egg wash with a pastry brush.
Generously sprinkle grated Parmesan over each spider.
Arrange the spiders on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15–20 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
