How to Make Puff Pastry Pizza
Defrost Puff Pastry fully. Preheat oven to 425℉.
Unroll puff pastry if it's rolled and place a little bit of flour on it making sure that the pastry is not sticky. Carefully flip it over and place it on a sheet of parchment paper. Lightly cover the puff pastry with flour on the second side.
Using a rolling pin, roll out puff pastry to 14" x 10". Section the puff pastry in to 3 sections with the section in the middle being slightly wider than the sides. Cut slits on the sides about ¾" apart right to the edge and all the way through to the bottom.
Mix sauce and olive oil and layer it in the centre of the puff pastry along with mozzarella, pepperoni, olives and parmesan cheese in the centre of pastry and any other filling you prefer.
Fold slits on the sides over to enclose sauce mozzarella layer making a crisscross design.
Place in 425 degree pre-heated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.
Storage: Store leftover pizza in the refrigerator in an air tight container or wrapped in foil.
You can also freeze pizza slices in the freezer wrapped in foil or stored in an air tight container. You can take them from freezer to toaster oven and warm for 10 minutes at 350F.
Top Tip
When you are working with puff pastry, you need to work quickly. The longer the dough stays at room temperature the less it will rise when cooked.
Ensure that your oven is pre-heated before you place your puff pastry in the oven because puff pastry needs a high oven temperature in order to bake and "puff".

Some of the Pizza's you can make include the following:
