Puff pastry pizza bakes up flaky and golden in 25 minutes. No dough-making required, just top with sauce, cheese, and your favorite toppings.

Ingredients

Optional toppings: sliced red onion, sliced olives, fresh basil

Instructions

Preheat and prepare: Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prebake pastry: Place thawed puff pastry on the prepared baking sheet. Score the edges of the pastry with a 1/2 inch border, using a knife. Brush pastry with 1 Tablespoon olive oil. Bake for 5 minutes in oven,
Add toppings: The pastry may have puffed up a bit in the oven, so simply press down the center with the back of a spoon. Spread the 1/3 cup pizza sauce across the pastry. Add the 1 cup mozzarella, 15 pepperonis, and any other desired toppings.
Bake: Bake an additional 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and it's done to your liking.

Notes

Storage: Puff pastry pizza is best eaten the day it's made, since the crust softens in the fridge. If you have leftovers, wrap individual pieces in foil or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Reheating: Reheat in the oven, toaster oven, or air fryer at 350°F for 3 to 5 minutes until warm and crisp. Skip the microwave, it makes the crust rubbery.
