Ingredients
  

  • 1 sheet of puff pastry dough thawed
  • ¼ cup of your favorite pizza sauce I used Rao's
  • 2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup sliced pepperoni
  • ¼ cup sliced black olives
  • ½ cup diced green bell pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon oregano powder
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish
  • 2 eggs beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon flour to dust pan
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
 

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 the dough with your fork excluding the border.
  • Egg wash the dough and bake for 10 minutes.

Add the Toppings

  • Remove from the oven and poke a few holes to allow the dough to deflate a bit.
  • Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the entire pizza, inside the border, using the back of a spoon.
  • Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
  • Add the pepperoni, black olives, and diced green bell pepper evenly over the cheese. I cooked my green peppers for a few minutes to remove some of the liquid.
  • Top with basil and oregano.

Bake the Pizza

  • Bake for an additional 6-8 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted.
  • Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing.

Serve and Enjoy

  • Slice the puff pastry pizza using a pizza cutter or I love using kitchen shears. Serve warm and enjoy the delightful combination of crispy puff pastry and flavorful toppings.
