About Our Ingredients

Puff Pastry Dough: The star of the show, offering a light, flaky crust that differs from traditional pizza dough.

Mushrooms: Add a savory, umami flavor that pairs perfectly with the creamy white sauce.

Mozzarella and Fontina Cheese: These cheeses melt beautifully and provide a rich, gooey texture.

White Sauce: Made from butter, flour, milk, garlic, boursin, and parmesan cheese, this sauce is creamy and full of flavor.

Fresh Toppings: Arugula, burrata, truffle oil, balsamic glaze, and basil add a fresh, vibrant finish to the pizza.


Substitutions & Variations

Cheese Variations: Substitute mozzarella with a blend of cheddar, gouda, or even blue cheese for a different flavor profile.

Vegetarian Options: Add more vegetables like spinach, roasted red peppers, or caramelized onions. With these veggies, I would recommend sautéing your veggies with a little salt to remove some of the liquid so you don't end up with a soggy dough

Meat Toppings: Add prosciutto, crispy bacon, or cooked sausage for a meaty twist.

Puff Pastry Pizza Pockets: Fold the puff pastry over the toppings and seal the edges to make portable pizza pockets.

Puff Pastry Wheels: Roll the topped puff pastry into a log and slice it into wheels before baking for a fun appetizer.

Mini Pizzas: Cut the puff pastry into smaller squares to create mini pizzas, perfect for parties or as a fun snack for kids.


How To Make Mushroom & White Sauce Puff Pastry Pizza

Full recipe, instructions, and photos in recipe card at end of post.

Prepare the White Sauce:

  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add in your garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add the flour and whisk continuously for about 2 minutes, until lightly golden.
  • Gradually add the milk, continuing to whisk to avoid lumps. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Stir in the boursin cheese, salt, black pepper, and grated parmesan cheese. Cook for another 2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat and set aside.

Prepare the Puff Pastry Crust:

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to gently roll out the puff pastry sheet to smooth out the creases.
  • Transfer the puff pastry dough to the prepared baking sheet. Using a sharp knife, score a 1-inch border around the edges, being careful not to cut all the way through. This will create a raised puff pastry base for your toppings. Poke holes with a fork along the dough.
  • We are going to blind bake your pastry dough to make sure it doesn't get soggy. Egg wash your pizza and bake it for 10 minutes.

Assemble the Pizza:

  • Remove the pizza from the oven and spread ¼ cup of the white sauce evenly over the puff pastry, inside the border, using the back of a spoon.
  • Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and fontina cheese over the sauce.
  • Add the sliced mushrooms evenly over the cheese.

Bake the Pizza:

  • Place the puff pastry pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and melted.
  • Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.

Finish with Toppings:

  • Top the pizza with fresh arugula. Also, optional but I HIGHLY recommend :), torn pieces of burrata cheese, truffle oil, and fresh basil leaves.
  • Drizzle balsamic glaze for an extra layer of flavor.

FAQ

Can I use a different cheese blend?

Yes, you can substitute fontina with gouda, gruyère, or even asiago for a different flavor profile.

Can I prepare the white sauce ahead of time?

Yes, you can make the white sauce up to 2 days in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat by adding a little milk before using.

What are some other topping ideas?

Try adding caramelized onions, roasted red peppers, or even thin slices of prosciutto for a gourmet touch.

How should I store leftovers?

Store any leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.
