Add a fun twist to pizza night with puff pastry pizza! Use a sheet of puff pastry, add sauce and any of your favorite pizza toppings to make an easy dinner or fun appetizer!

Ingredients

1 sheet of frozen puff pastry, thawed
3/4 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
1 egg mixed with 1 tablespoon of water
1/4 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 tablespoon cornmeal
Salt

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.

2. Sprinkle 1/2 tablespoon of the cornmeal onto the baking sheet then top with the thawed puff pastry sheet, pressing down gently so the corn meal will adhere to the bottom of the pastry.

3. Use a fork to prick the center of the pastry sheet several times, this will help prevent too much puffing up during the blind bake. Brush the entire pastry lightly with the egg wash. Then sprinkle only the center of the pastry with the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and a little salt.

4. Bake the puff pastry for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and gently press down to release the remaining steam and flatten the pastry. Don’t press too hard, you don’t want it to flake and crumble apart. Just apply some gentle pressure and that should do the trick.

5. Add the pizza sauce leaving a small edge for the crust. Top with the cheese, then sprinkle the whole pizza including the crust with a little garlic powder and a sprinkle of salt.

6. Bake for 10 minutes.

Slice and serve immediately!
