For the sauce, either store-bought or homemade is fine. I love using our homemade pizza sauce or our pesto without pine nuts.
PRO TIPS/RECIPE NOTES
- Check the directions on the box of your puff pastry to confirm the thawing time. Some brands only recommend 20 minutes, and others recommend up to 1+ hours.
- Puff pastry does not “rise” like pizza or bread dough. Before it goes into the oven, it will look flat. As it bakes the pastry will “puff” up. It is a perfectly named product!
- Optional: brush the edges of the unbaked pastry with olive oil, melted butter, or an egg wash, and sprinkle dried herbs and garlic powder over it prior to baking.
