Bake puff pastry pizza or puff pastry tarts
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Roll the puff pastry sheets using a rolling pin until they are about an inch longer on both sides.
- Transfer this to a silicone mat or baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- Prick the pastry with a fork gently to prevent it from puffing up while baking.
- Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce leaving around the edges and add the prepared toppings. Spread grated cheese.½ cup Pizza sauce, ½ Onion, sliced, ¾ Capsicum or Bell peppers, sliced, Cheese, 1 cup Grated cheese, approx
- In a small bowl, crack an egg, add 1 tablespoon of water, and beat well. Apply egg wash along the edges of the pastry, as this will give it a beautiful golden brown color upon baking. Use olive oil or milk for a vegetarian version.1 Egg
- Bake for about 20 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown. Allow it to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing!
- Garnish it with fresh herbs before serving, and enjoy.2 tablespoon Cilantro or Basil leaves or Parsley
Notes
- If you make this for the party, you can also make puff pastry pizza bites. Just cut the puff pastry sheet into 6 or 8 squares and then bake it so you can serve it as a finger food or appetizer.
- Only add a little sauce to your puff pastry sheet. Else it may make your base soggy.
- Try our mushroom pizza or caramelized onion topping for the pizza.
Variations
