These super easy, super light pizzas are one of my favorite appetizers. Have fun with the toppings and let them puff away!
The Oscars is this Sunday night, and if you’re the kind of human that likes to put on your favorite new top, dab on a little extra lip gloss, brush your hair until it shines, and settle in with a glass of wine just as the ceremony is beginning, I have the perfect little treat for you.
(I’ll probably be wearing yoga pants and have my hair in a knot on top of my head, judging from my typical Sunday evenings. But don’t be like me.)
Pizza Puff Pastry Twists Recipe By Tasty
Puffed Pastry Pizzas are not just alliterative…they’re also completely delightful. They have a nice light texture, you can change up the toppings, and most of all, they’re so incredibly easy to make with really impressive results. My idea of fun, if I were having a group of girlfriends over to watch the Oscars, which I’m not because I live too far out of town and five miles down a gravel road and everyone would wind up getting home way too late for a Sunday night in rural America, but that’s okay; I can fantasize anyway, would be to make a slew of the pizzas, each a different variety, then slice them up and serve them on huge, honking platter. What a presentation!
But here’s the good news: you don’t have to have an Oscar party to have an excuse to make these babies. They’re allowed on any night of the week/year/decade/century!
First: Puffed Pastry! This is one sheet of the frozen stuff, and I removed it from the package it came in, wrapped it in plastic wrap, and stuck it in my fridge. I actually meant to make the pizzas the day before I did, but didn’t get around to it…and it wound up being fine in the fridge for that 24 hour period. It says this on the package, but you can also take it straight out of the freezer and lay it on the counter for 45 minutes for a “quick thaw” right before you make the pizzas.

Now, for the toppings of the pizza (I’m making two pizzas, two varieties): First, wash some mushrooms. These are Baby Bellas, but you can use regular white mushrooms instead!
Oh, and I wash mushrooms. I’ve read for years that you’re supposed to wipe mushrooms clean with a damp cloth. But I choose to rebel against this for one very important reason:
Stir the mushrooms around, then grab the bottle of wine you’ve been keeping in your bedside table and pour in a healthy splash.

Cook the ‘shrooms for about 5-7 minutes, until they’re nice and cooked and whatever liquid you’ve added has all but disappeared. Then just remove them from the heat and set them aside.
Finally, grate up some mozzarella. You won’t need too much, and just as was the case with my Chicken Mozzarella Pasta on Monday, you can use the fresh stuff that I’m using here, or you can use regular ol’ supermarket mozzarella. Either one is fine!
Now it’s time to make the pizzas: First, preheat the oven to 415 degrees. (Is that precise enough for you? Haha. I’m sorry. It’s just that 415 degrees is my puffed pastry temperature and I’m afraid to jinx it by changing it now.) When it’s preheated, unwrap the puffed pastry…
Puff Pastry Pizza Bites (pepperoni Or Mushroom)
This isn’t 100% necessary, but I do it for luck: Brush a very light strip of olive oil right down the center.
You don’t want to lay on too much cheese, as it can cause some chaos as the pastry puffs in the oven, so just keep it light! The star of the pizzas really is the puffed pastry itself.
Spread the toppings out a bit so that there’s not a really heavy, defined strip of ingredients down the middle: You want them to be pretty well distributed, with just a small strip of pastry around the edge.

Now, a couple of things: First, don’t be alarmed if you look in the oven during baking and you see crazy things happening on one or both of the pizzas. Sometimes, because of the toppings, one little area of the pastry will puff up and freak out on you…but it’s totally fine! If it’s a really big puff/air bubble, I’ll reach in with a sharp little knife and pierce it (“I pierced the toast!” Name that movie), which can cause it to settle down.
Or, usually, after you take the pizzas out of the oven, you can just press the bubble down or wait and watch it settle down by itself!
Either way, it’s always best to let the pizzas sit for a good 10 minutes before you serve them. Helps the pastry settle down and the toppings cool down a bit, and it will help hone your skills of patience, which you’ll need because these pizzas are so gloriously inviting.
Gourmet Puff Pastry Margherita Pizza
Goat cheese—along with coffee ice cream, hummus, wine, The Godfather, Gone With the Wind, Basset Hounds, the smell of citrus, Real Housewives, waffles, poached eggs, puffed pastry pizza, and Dr Pepper lip balm—is my life.
Grab some plates! Pour some wine! Invite your friends! Unless you live far out of town and five miles down a gravel road! And then never mind!
And as for toppings? Use whatever your heart desires. Thin prosciutto, regular shaved ham, diced bell pepper, olives, shrimp, any veggies and cheese you want.

Puff Pastry Pizza Margherita
Picture this: it's pizza night at your house, and you're in the mood for something different from the same old delivery. But you don't want the hassle of mixing, kneading, proofing, and shaping pizza dough. On nights like that, it's this easy puff pastry pizza recipe to the rescue!
The inspiration for this recipe comes from a classic Chicago fast food snack, the pizza puff. In Chicago, pizza puffs are a pizza pastry wrapped in a flour tortilla and then deep-fried, making it a perfect late-night craving. And to me, it always had a similar texture to puff pastry! So I thought there had to be a way to recreate that texture with a puff pastry pizza crust! This is the recipe I'm talking about when I say that puff pastry is
! It can take the form of a cookie, a pie crust, a braided pastry, and now a delicious pizza! And not just any pizza -- this pizza has a buttery, flaky, irresistible crust that stands up to your toppings! But you may be wondering:
Easy Pizza Twists
Puff pastry is known for being delicate, flaky, and light. How, then, can a puff pastry pizza crust stand up to layers of sauce, cheese, and toppings? Can puff pastry be used as a bottom crust? Absolutely!
We're blind-baking our puff pastry to make sure that it is fully cooked through and never soggy. Unlike in my pear puff pastry tart recipe, we'll be baking our puff pastry crust on its own for 10 minutes prior to adding any sauce or toppings. This allows the crust to cook most of the way through, so that when it goes back into the oven with the toppings, it only needs a few more minutes to get nice and golden brown.
Additionally, we'll add an egg wash to our crust before our blind bake to crease a moisture barrier, so that the sauce doesn't penetrate our puff pastry pizza crust. That's how we make sure the pastry stays flaky and crispy, and not soggy!
Puff Pastry Pizza Rolls
This puffed pastry pizza recipe is so customizable! You can use veggies, like I did, or any of your favorite pizza toppings! In general, here are the ingredients you'll need:
For this recipe, you'll need a large baking sheet and either parchment paper or a silicone baking liner to bake your pizza. You'll also need a rolling pin to roll out your puffed pastry dough, and a pizza cutter to cut your pizza once it's done! Here are some more tools that will be helpful:
You can turn this recipe into puff pastry pizza bites! Just cut your puff pastry into 6-8 smaller pieces before baking and make smaller versions to serve as appetizers and finger food for
