• Base
• 4 pieces puff pastry
• 1 cup pizza sauce
• One quarter tsp cooking salt
• One quarter tsp ground black pepper
• 1 egg plus 1 tbsp water whisked

• 7 to 8 button mushrooms sliced
• 60 g chopped spinach or rocket
• 100 g ham or salami chopped
• One half cup shredded mozzarella
• One quarter cup sliced kalamata olives
• 1 small red onion thinly sliced

Method

1. Preheat oven to 200 Celsius.
2. Defrost puff pastry sheets for 30 minutes.
3. Score the edges to create a crust border.
4. Brush the entire sheet with egg wash.
5. Bake for 10 minutes until puffed and golden.
6. Remove and gently press the centre to deflate slightly.
7. Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce.
8. Add a little cheese then toppings then finish with more cheese.
9. Bake for another 10 minutes until melted and bubbly.

Tips

Do not overload the toppings or the pastry will lose its crispness. Baking the base first guarantees a flaky bottom. Add chilli flakes or pesto for extra flavour.

Storage

Best eaten fresh. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 1 day. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to keep the pastry crispy.
