Classic puff pastry pizza in the oven

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make pizza from puff pastry in the oven? Very simple! Start by preparing the necessary ingredients according to the list and preparing the sauce. To speed up the process, you can use ready-made tomato sauce for pizza or just ketchup, but with this homemade sauce it turns out much tastier. For other recipes for pizza sauces, see in the link under the recipe.

2. Step 2:

   

   Cut the bell pepper into small cubes.

3. Step 3:

   

   Cut the onion into small cubes.

4. Step 4:

   

   Chop the garlic finely with a knife.

5. Step 5:

   

   Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat and massage the onion with garlic until the onion is soft for about 2-3 minutes.

6. Step 6:

   

   Add sweet pepper and fry, stirring, for another 2 minutes.

7. Step 7:

   

   Add tomato paste and mix.

8. Step 8:

   

   Pour in the water, season the sauce with salt, pepper and mix. Simmer for 5-7 minutes. At the end, add sugar and chili on the tip of a knife. You can not add chili at all, but in such an amount it will not be very noticeable in the sauce, but it will give a slight piquancy.

9. Step 9:

   

   Put the sauce in a blender and grind until smooth. The sauce is ready.

10. Step 10:

    

    Now get busy preparing the filling. In addition to these ingredients for the filling, you can use other fillers to taste: boiled sausage, ham, mushrooms, olives, etc .

12. Step 11:

    

    Cut the bell pepper into thin rings.

13. Step 12:

    

    Also cut the sausage into thin slices. For pizza, I usually take sliced sausage. You can use boiled smoked sausage, like mine, or smoked raw. Which one you like best.

14. Step 13:

    

    Cut tomatoes into thin circles. Choose juicy tomatoes, but dense. Soft fruits do not keep their shape well, in the process of slicing and cooking they will spread into a shapeless mass and spoil the appearance of the dish. The filling is ready.

15. Step 14:

    

    Grate the cheese on a coarse grater. Any cheese for this dish is suitable — hard, semi-hard, soft, like mozzarella. The main thing is that it is delicious, high-quality, without milk fat substitutes and melts well.

16. Step 15:

    

    Olives can be cut into rings, halves or left whole.

17. Step 16:

    

    Pre-defrost the dough. The big plus of this pizza is that the dough for it is taken from the store, and you do not need to waste time cooking at home. But if you prefer homemade dough, you can choose a suitable recipe from the catalog under the recipe. If your dough is frozen, defrost it beforehand.

18. Step 17:

    

    Sprinkle the dough with flour and roll out on a sheet of parchment into a thin round cake 2-3 mm thick. If you want to get a pizza on a thick dough, take not 250, but 350-400 g of dough, without rolling it too thin. In a circle, stepping back from the edge of 1 cm with a pizza knife, draw a circle on the dough. Prick the inside with a fork so that the dough does not swell when baking (I confess, I forgot to do this, but the dough did not swell without pricking).

19. Step 18:

    

    Grease the dough with the prepared sauce, trying not to go beyond the outlined edges. Put the workpiece in preheated to 200 °From the oven for about 5 minutes. During this time, the edges of the dough will slightly increase, forming bumpers. Determine the exact time and temperature of baking according to your oven.

20. Step 19:

    

    Put the filling of sausage, tomatoes, bell peppers and olives on the dough. Sprinkle the pizza with grated cheese on top. Return the pizza to the oven and bake at 180 ° C for about 10 minutes more. Bon appetit!
