Equipment

  • Rolling Pin
  • sheet pan
  • parchment paper
  • Spoon
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board

Ingredients

  • 2 sheets puff pastry thawed
  • 1 cup pizza sauce
  • 3/4 cup cooked Italian sausage cumbles
  • 2 oz turkey pepperonis (1/2 bag)
  • 2 tbsp diced red onion
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or provolone
  • 1/2 cup shredded parmesan
  • 1 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tsp pizza seasoning
  • pinch red pepper flakes optional
  • fresh basil for topping

Instructions

  • **NOTE: whatever toppings you choose, the meats must be fully cooked and the vegetables need to be cut fine enough so they cook within the pocket!
  • Prep the puff pastry. Most are frozen so remove it from the freezer and let it come to room temperature (this is crucial as we will be rolling it out and frozen pastry dough isn’t easy to work with!)
  • Preheat the oven to 400F. When the puff pastry is thawed, place each piece on a sheet of parchment (one on the counter and one on a baking sheet) and roll them out to thin them a bit.
  • Then spread pizza sauce on top of the pastry on the baking sheet. Spread with the back of a spoon to a thin layer.

  • Sprinkle toppings on top of the sauce: cooked sausage, turkey pepperoni, diced red onion, and then the shredded cheese goes on top to “stick” to the top puff pastry.

  • Then flip the second sheet of puff pastry onto the assembled pastry. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the pastry into squares/diagonals. This makes serving exceptionally easier!
  • Bake for 22-28 minutes until the top puff pastry sheet is golden brown and puffed.

  • Use a metal spatula to piece apart baked pizza rolls. I like to pick up either side of the parchment paper, and slide onto a large serving board with desired sauces and digging in! I did marinara sauce and RANCH (bc no pizza should ever be consumed without ranch. That’s just the midwesterner in me!)

Notes

Best fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator, just note that they will not be as flaky. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for 8-10 minutes at 375°.
Customize to your liking! Other variations:
  • Supreme – A combo of meats & veggies such as pepperoni, seasoned beef, mushrooms, green bell peppers and onions.
  • BBQ Chicken – Shredded rotisserie chicken, barbecue sauce instead of red sauce, shredded cheddar cheese, and red onion.
  • Greek Style – Roasted red peppers, sliced cherry tomatoes, feta, red onion, and olives.
