Creating Flaky Puff Crust Pizza is simple if you follow these steps.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet of puff pastry (thawed)
- 1 cup pizza sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup sliced pepperoni (or preferred toppings)
- 1 cup vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, onions, mushrooms)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare Puff Pastry: Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to fit your baking sheet or pizza stone.
- Transfer to Baking Sheet: Place the rolled pastry onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, trimming any excess edges if necessary.
- Create Crust: Fold the edges of the pastry slightly inward to form a crust.
- Add Sauce: Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the pastry, leaving the crust area free of sauce.
- Layer Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
- Add Toppings: Distribute your preferred toppings, such as pepperoni and vegetables, over the cheese.
- Season: Drizzle olive oil over the toppings and sprinkle Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Egg Wash: Brush the exposed crust edges with the beaten egg to give it a golden color when baked.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the crust is puffed and golden brown.
- Cool Slightly: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
- Slice and Serve: Cut into slices and enjoy your amazing Flaky Puff Crust Pizza!
Notes
- The puff pastry should be fully thawed before use for best results.
- You can customize the toppings based on your preference.
- For a healthier option, you may use whole grain pizza sauce.
