Servings: 9 pieces
Ingredients
- ½ tablespoon flour for dusting the pan
- 1 sheet thawed puff pastry dough
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/4 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Use Your Favorite Toppings
- 12 pepperoni
- ¼ red onion, diced
- ¼ green peppers, diced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Sprinkle a little flour on the parchment paper.
- Unfold the thawed puff pastry dough on the parchment paper.
- Using a knife, cut a line around the dough to form a crust. Don't cut all the way through.
- Prick the center of the dough with a fork, not the crust boarder.
- Brush the puff pastry dough with egg wash. Bake for 10 minutes. ***The dough will be puffed up.
- Take the back of a spoon and gently press down the center of the crust.
- Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce in the center of the crust. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Add you favorite pizza toppings. Bake for an additional 10 minutes or until cheese melts.
Notes
- Be sure to thaw properly. It's important that you follow the directions on the puff pastry dough box for thawing.
- Use parchment paper. I like using parchment paper with a little dusting of flour to help prevent the dough from sticking.
- Making the crust. Make sure to to cut all the way through the dough with making the outline of the crust.
- Use freshly shredded cheese. Freshly shredded cheese melts the best. If you are in a pinch, you can use prepackaged cheese.
- Don't put on too many toppings. There is a bit of a delicate balance when it comes to adding sauce and toppings. Make sure to only use a thin layer of sauce and don't add too many toppings to help prevent the dough from getting soggy.
- Make individual pizzas. If you would like to make personal pizzas, you can cut the puff pastry dough into thirds before assembling.
