The month of December is filled with fun times: decorating the Christmas tree, wrapping presents, and many other joyous traditions.

And in between all these festive activities, you’ll want to squeeze in a snack or two somewhere. For instance, pizza is a food that is fitting no matter what the occasion is.

Everyone enjoys having a slice, and it can be customized according to each person’s tastes. For the spirit of the holidays, try turning your pizza into a holiday-themed shape, such as a gingerbread man.

TikTok user @honeybearbites has a great recipe for a gingerbread man shaped pizza. She can even instruct you on how to make your own dough from scratch!

So get ready to have loads of fun decorating pizzas with your family. It might even turn into your newest Christmas tradition!

Here is how to make the homemade crust:

-1 1/3 cups of warm water

-1 package of instant dry yeast

-2 teaspoons of brown sugar or honey

-1 egg

-1 teaspoon of fine salt

-3 to 3 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour

In a large bowl, combine the yeast, water, and sugar. Stir until it has dissolved, then add in the egg and salt. While mixing, pour the flour in one cup at a time. Once the mixture is too stiff to stir with a fork, transfer it to a floured countertop.

Then, knead the dough for four to five minutes. If the dough is still too sticky, continue adding more flour until it is smoother. Next, form a ball out of the dough and place it in a bowl. Cover the bowl with a dishcloth and set it in a warm area for an hour to let it rise. After that, it is all ready to shape and decorate.

For the next step, preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough and shape it into a gingerbread man. Once it resembles the Christmas character, move it onto a baking sheet. Poke the dough with holes using a fork, so it does not puff up while in the oven.

Finally, slather the pizza with tomato sauce and cover it with cheese and your other desired toppings.
