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.
    Hand adjusting oven temperature dial to 160 degrees, focusing on precise cooking settings at home.
  • 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.
