INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Line baking trays with parchment paper or foil.
2. Cut the puff pastry sheet into squares or rectangles. Transfer the pieces to the prepared trays, leaving a small gap between each so air can circulate.
3. Spread tomato paste or pizza sauce on each pastry piece, leaving a narrow border for the crust. Add mozzarella and your chosen toppings.
4. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed, crisp, and golden and the cheese has melted. Slice and serve warm.
TOP TIPS
- The pastry will puff up unevenly in places as it bakes—that’s normal and part of the charm.
- Reheat leftovers in the oven or air fryer to keep the crust crisp. Avoid the microwave, which makes the pastry soggy.
