Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 sheet puff pastry thawed
  • 1 medium tomato sliced ½” circles
  • 6 small mozzarella balls fresh, cut in half
  • 1 cup mozzarella shredded
  • ¼ cup pizza sauce
  • 1 tbsp basil fresh chopped thin (optional)

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Chef's Knife
  • Baking Sheet
  • Frying pan

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Take out a sheet pan and set it aside.
  2. Place a piece of parchment paper on a cutting board or work surface. Add the puff pastry dough sheet on top.
  3. Use a rolling pin to roll out puff pastry dough so it is 2 to 3 inches larger.
  4. Assemble the puff pastry pizza by adding a layer of pizza sauce in the center, leaving 1 inch around the outside without sauce for the crust.
  5. Add tomato slices on top of the sauce.
  6. Then, top it with shredded and fresh mozzarella cheese.
  7. Add the puff pastry pizza to the oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the crust is fluffy and golden brown.
  8. Remove the puff pastry pizza from the oven and top it with fresh basil before serving.

Notes

  • Tip: The pizza will take a few extra minutes if you meal prepped it and are cooking it directly from the refrigerator. For best results, take it out at least 10 minutes in advance to let it come up to room temperature before baking.
  • Tip: This recipe doesn’t use much pizza sauce, because I like to spread pizza sauce thin when working with puff pastry sheets, to prevent the dough from getting soggy.
