- Preparation of puff pastry:
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (about 180°C if fan-assisted).
- Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface.
- Use a round cutter (or a glass) to cut circles out of the puff pastry. The size depends on how big you want the mini pizzas.
- Assembling the mini pizzas:
- Arrange the puff pastry circles on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
- Spread a small amount of tomato sauce on each puff pastry circle, leaving a border around the edge.
- Adding ingredients:
- Evenly distribute the cheese (diced mozzarella or other cheese of your choice), chopped salami, and black olives (if using) over the puff pastry circles.
- Condiments:
- Sprinkle the mini pizzas with a little dried oregano, salt and pepper to taste.
- Finish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil on each mini pizza.
- Cooking:
- Bake the mini puff pastry pizzas for about 12-15 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden and crispy and the cheese is completely melted.
- Service:
- Once cooked, let the mini pizzas cool slightly before serving.
- You can garnish with fresh basil leaves if you like.
Suggestions:
- Customize the mini puff pastry pizzas by adding ingredients like peppers, mushrooms, onions, or other vegetables of your choice.
- Be sure not to overcrowd the mini pizzas with ingredients to avoid them becoming too moist and difficult to handle.
These mini puff pastry pizzas are perfect for parties, buffets or just as a tasty appetizer to enjoy with friends and family. Enjoy!
