Good afternoon everyone!

There are probably no people who don’t like pizza; preferences differ only in the options for toppings.

How about making pizza at home? A good idea, but what if you don’t really want to cook the dough, but you want pizza quickly?

For such cases, it is good to have a package of frozen puff pastry at home. We quickly defrosted it, scraped the bottom, made the filling - and here you have a delicious pizza in 10 minutes of effort. You can treat yourself and your family, or you can cut it into small pieces and you will get a snack that is suitable for guests.

This is just one of the options what to make from puff pastry, and here’s another: .

Ingredients for puff pastry pizza:

- puff pastry itself (I have one sheet per 250 g),

- ketchup,

- hard cheese,

*** And the filling. It can be anything you like:meat, sausage, sausages, mushrooms, ham, even crab sticks.But this is how I like to do (to I don’t indicate the quantity - the proportions are according to your wishes, it will still be delicious):

- pickled honey mushrooms,

- tomato,

- olives,

*** It will be even tastier with suitable aromatic spices:

- a pinch of dried basil,

- a pinch of dried oregano.

Making puff pastry pizza:

It is better to choose puff pastry for pizza so that the sheets are larger (there are narrow and long ones). I found square sheets.

Remove the dough from the packaging and leave to defrost for 15 minutes.

At this time, prepare the filling: wash the mushrooms and place in a colander. As soon as the water drains, we’ll cut it. Although you can leave it that way.

We cut the olives into rings.

Three cheeses on a medium grater.

Remove the stem from the tomato, cut it in half and cut each half into thin slices.

The dough has already defrosted. I roll it out on a thin cutting board and it rolls perfectly without flour.

Cover the baking tray with baking paper (and if the coating is non-stick, then no paper is needed). Place the dough on paper. Lubricate with ketchup, sprinkle with dried basil and oregano.

Oh, how these herbs “play” in pizza, the taste is so delicious, oregano and basil go well with tomatoes and cheeses. Be sure to add them!

Well, now let’s add the filling. Isn't it beauty?

Sprinkle with grated cheese.

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees, bake for 15-20 minutes.

And here it is, delicious in just 10 minutes of work in the kitchen. Cut and enjoy! The dough is tender and crispy at the same time, the filling is my favorite, the herbs smell so good... This is happiness!

There's a small fly in the ointment at the end: this is a VERY rich dish (due to the rich puff pastry), so don't get carried away!

Sometimes you can cook it when you really want homemade pizza, or you urgently need to feed your husband/guests, or for a holiday table - as an appetizer. It's sooooo delicious!

By the way, if you noticed, I had TWO sheets of dough, but ONE pizza was prepared. Ostap got carried away, and at the last moment I decided to make another tasty treat from the second sheet, more likely for a festive occasion, with wine, oh, how good it will be.

It turned out beautiful, spicy and spicy, and it’s also easy to prepare. Another option is to make it from puff pastry. I’ll show you soon, so if anyone is interested, don’t miss it. ()

All the best and see you soon!

Tomatoes 3-4 pcs.
Bell pepper 1 pc.
Pickled cucumbers 2-3 pcs.
Cheese 150-200 grams

What can I add?
Greens - dill, green onions (just not too much), basil, marjoram, rosemary.
Spices and seasonings - salt, paprika, after the ingredients are laid out on the dough, but not yet covered with cheese.

Pizza making process

Considering that pizza consists of several global components, such as a dough base, filling, grated cheese. Then our pizza making process will be divided into the following stages.

Preparing the pizza base.

We have already written about how to prepare store-bought dough.
But you can repeat the main points.

The dough should be placed in a bowl/vessel, kneaded first and left to rise, after 1-2 hours knead again, after about an hour you can cook.

If the dough is frozen, then you should wait until it melts, and then work as usual.

Preparing pizza toppings.

If you use the listed ingredients, then they do not really need preliminary heat treatment.

In this case, preparing the filling comes down to cutting all the ingredients. It is not necessary to follow the cutting order, except that it is better to cut the tomatoes last, otherwise they will give a lot of juice.

Cut the sausage into cubes. Since this is a simple recipe, you can get by with just one type of sausage. But several are more interesting, so we took boiled and smoked (almost any cervelat will do).

Before cutting the bell pepper, you should rinse it and remove the center with the seeds (either with a circular motion of the knife, or cut in half and remove from each half). It doesn’t hurt to rinse it with cold water again and after that you can safely chop it into cubes.

Grate the cheese, either on a coarse grater or finely. Coarsely grated cheese looks better on pizza, baked with a kind of mesh. And the smaller the chips, the more they will melt in the oven. Therefore, the choice here is for everyone.

If you spend a lot of time preparing the pizza toppings, then it is also advisable to grate the cheese towards the end. Because as usual it dries out.

Tomatoes, like any other vegetables, should be washed before slicing, and the crust should be removed at the point of attachment to the bush (with a triangular cut). And cut into pieces of the same size.

Let's cook the pizza in the oven.

Grease the baking sheet with vegetable oil to prevent burning.

At this point, you can already preheat the oven by turning on 180-200°C (flame slightly above average) 15 minutes before placing the baking sheet with pizza there.

Roll out the pizza base dough.

The risen dough should be kneaded before cooking. To roll it out properly you will need wheat flour. You should sprinkle it on the surface where you will turn the dough into a thin layer, as well as on your hands and rolling pin, so that it does not stick or tear.

After using longitudinal and transverse movements of the rolling pin, roll out our dough into a pancake 0.5-1 cm thick (preferably less than 1 cm). It is advisable not to make a thick pizza base. Otherwise, the taste of the dough will interrupt the taste of the filling.

And transfer our “pancake” to a baking sheet, for which you can wrap it on a rock and unwind it on the baking sheet. This way you will maintain its integrity and protect it from stretching and tearing.

Then, layer by layer, place all the components of our filling evenly on the rolled out dough, fold the edges and sprinkle with seasonings, herbs and grated cheese.

The recommended order is boiled sausage, cucumbers, peppers, smoked sausage, tomatoes and cheese on top. In fact, this is just called layer by layer, in fact, all the products are located approximately in the same plane, otherwise the pizza would be very thick.

The folded edge can be greased with oil.

Baking pizza in the oven.

After all the operations done, put the baking sheet with our pizza in a preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the dough is baked (the thinner the dough, the less time).

Once the pizza is ready, remove it from the oven and place it on a cutting board. Cover with waterproof paper and a towel on top. Let it sit for 10 minutes. This will make the crust softer. Then you can cut and enjoy.

Done, enjoy!

What to serve with?

Pizza is well complemented with sauces or ketchup.

How can you diversify this simple recipe?

For vegetables, in addition to tomatoes and bell peppers, you can use onions, both onions and greens. Bell peppers can be used in red, orange, yellow to add color.

The shape of the cut can also enhance some aspects of the taste, for example, a tomato cut into plastic, or onions and peppers into strips or rings will change not only the appearance.

You can make pizza with mushrooms, for which you should first fry them, or even better, fry them with onions.

Instead of (or in addition to) sausage, you can make pizza with pieces of meat, which also needs to be prepared in advance.

There are pizzas with fish, in particular with anchovies. If you use canned anchovies, you do not need to cook them additionally.

Various minced meats and vegetables can also be used in making pizzas.

You can even see the ingredients of pizzas on the websites where you can order them. I looked at the ingredients and prepared it myself. It will be tastier and healthier.

We hope that the simple oven-baked pizza recipe was to your liking.
