  3. Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the pre-made pizza dough to about ¼ inch thickness. Cut into six rectangles.
  4. Place each rectangle of dough into a cavity of the greased skull tin. Layer with pizza sauce, mozzarella, Parmesan, and your toppings.
  5. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pinching the seams to seal.
