Thin and crispy Puff pizza


I love this pizza not only for it's taste but also for the fact that my hubby is an expert in making this pizza when it is his turn to take the lead and get all geared up with..in kitchen.

It seems all hubbys make the best pizza in the world and my hubby dear is no exception.

This is an easy pizza recipe which is very quick to cook and is healthy because of use of light/fat free mozarella cheese.

The unique ingredient in this recipe is puff pastry sheet as pizza base. Puff pastry sheets lend a thin, crispy texture to the base and is easily available off the shelves in the market.
This recipe has very less cooking time and is easy to cook.

That makes this quick, lean mean and healthy pizza but not to forget equally tasty and crispy.

Ingredients:

1 Chopped Onion
1/2 chopped capsicum
Some Olives (green or red) (chopped or whole) as preferred
Tomato puree or any tomato base ( or even pasta sauce) for pizza base
3-4 Mushrooms
Light shredded mozarella cheese
Cracked black pepper
salt as per taste

Base:

2-3 Puff pastry sheets (we can get Puff pastry sheet pack from Woolworths or coles in frozen food section)

Recipe:

1. Pre heat Oven at 200 degrees Centigrade fan forced.
2. Take a curry puff sheet and let it stay in room temperature for 3-4 mins so it softens a bit.
3. While sheet is warming up, baste a baking tray (or pizza tray) with a bit of olive oil (because olive oil is the lighter and healthier).
4. Place the sheet on the baking tray and smear tomato base or pasta sauce base.
5. Spread vegetables over the sheet, and sprinkle shredded mozarrella cheese, cracked black pepper and salt according to taste.
6. Base is ready to be placed in the oven. Cook the pizza in the oven for about 10 mins.
7. Once pizza starts smelling cooked and turning brown, crispy Puff Pizza is ready to eat.
8. We can make as many pizzas as required by using a puff pastry sheet for each pizza.

Enjoy!!

Tip: We can use any topping of our choice. Any base like BBQ sauce,or any chutney (my favourite is coriander chutney ;)) can be used for variations.
I use light shredded mozarella cheese as a healthy choice option but one could use normal cheese too. Also, this pizza can be enjoyed with hot english mustard sauce or Tomato or BBQ sauce on the top.
