Ingredients
  

  • 1 round loaf sourdough bread
  • 1 can breadstick dough or sheet dough cut into strips
  • 10 slices mozzarella cheese
  • 3 slices provolone cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 1 cup pizza sauce + more as needed
  • 8 pepperonis
  • 8 mini mozzarella balls
  • 8 jalapeno slices

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Unroll the breadstick dough and separate it into eight evenly sized sticks. Wrap mason jars in foil and grease them with cooking spray. Lay the strips of dough over the mason jars, creating a small 'foot' at the bottom of each 'leg.'
  • Melt the butter and whisk in the garlic powder. Brush the garlic butter onto the bread sticks and bake for 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • While the legs are cooking, cut a circle into the top of the sourdough loaf and remove the center. About one inch down from the first cut, make another cut about one inch deep all around the first cut, leaving a space for the face.
  • Press mozzarella slices into the cuts around the hole in the center, and line the hole with provolone cheese. Bake until the provolone and mozzarella have melted.
  • Use toothpicks to secure the pepperoni slices onto the face of the spider. Leave the toothpicks sticking out far enough to add the mini mozzarella balls and jalapeño slices. Pour the pizza sauce into the hole in the center of the loaf, and bake until the mozzarella begins to melt, creating a 'weepy-eyed' look.
  • Remove the cooked breadstick legs from the mason jars. Place one end of each breadstick into the pizza sauce. Serve as the centerpiece at your next Halloween party. Enjoy and Happy Halloween!
