This is possibly the easiest pizza recipe youโ€™ll ever try that doesnโ€™t start with  the phrase โ€œopen the pizza boxโ€, but that doesnโ€™t make it any less delicious than my pizzas with fresh dough and all the fancy toppings.  The base of everything is puff pastry, which gives you an almost croissant like experience, with all the flaky layers.

Next you add a no-cook pizza sauce, which is so ridiculously easy I almost hate taking the time to actually type out the words.  Iโ€™m exhausted ๐Ÿ˜ฉ Letโ€™s get started.  Try to follow along ๐Ÿ˜‰

Want more flaky goodness? Try the viral TikTok Cookie Croissant, also known as a Crookie, with chocolate chip cookie dough stuffed into a flaky croissant. Once baked you get a chocolate croissant gone wild!

Ingredients
 

Easy No-Cook Pizza Sauce

  • 15 ounce can tomato sauce
  • ยฝ teaspoon Granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • ยฝ teaspoon Garlic powder
  • ยฝ teaspoon Dried oregano
  • ยฝ teaspoon Dried basil
  • ยฝ teaspoon Dried parsley
  • ยฝ teaspoon Onion powder

Pizza Toppings can be ANYTHING you want on a pizza (even pineapple ๐Ÿคญ) I used:

  • Sliced pepperoni
  • Chopped red bell pepper
  • Browned ground Italian sausage
  • 2 Cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Egg wash: 1 egg whisked with 1 teaspoon of water

All Laid on a Bed of

  • 1 package thawed frozen puff pastry

Instructions

  • I like to start any recipe by getting ALL the ingredients out and ready before starting. This is called โ€œmise en placeโ€ in the culinary world, a fancy French phrase for putting everything in place. Ready? Letโ€™s start! First, the really hard pizza sauce. Mix all of the sauce ingredients together in a bowl and set aside. Done! ๐Ÿ˜… The โ€œset asideโ€ part is actually very important. It allows the dried herbs to hydrate and the sugar to kind of counteract the acid in the tomatoes.
  • Sprinkle a little flour on the counter and gently roll out your thawed puff pastry just a bit. What you want is to kind of get rid of the fold lines a little and widen each โ€œsliceโ€ just a touch. Slice the pastry sheet into 3 even pieces.
  • Using the dull edge of a paring knife, make some score marks all around the edge of your dough, about ยผ inch in, without actually cutting the dough. Itโ€™s just decorative, but also gives you an actual border to work with as you move forward. Lightly brush your egg wash along the score marks. This will give you a nicely browned crust. Place about 3 tablespoons of pizza sauce (donโ€™t use any more sauce than this or your crust will get soggy.) down the center of your dough, using the back of the spoon to evenly spread the sauce within the borders you made. Pretty!
  • Sprinkle ยผ cup of mozzarella cheese, or the cheese of your choice (fly free, my pizza friend!) right on top of the sauce. See where weโ€™re going with this?
  • Evenly distribute your toppings, on top! I used a classic sausage and bell pepper motif here. I use red bell pepper because Iโ€™m not a fan of the traditional green bell. Plus, itโ€™s prettier ๐Ÿ˜Š
  • Bake at 425ยฐ for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is beautifully puffy and your cheese is bubbly and browned a bit. Here I did pepperoni, sausage and bell pepper, and the classic โ€œDeluxeโ€ combination! ๐Ÿ˜‹ Go on now. Make some pizza and let me know how it goes! Tell me all about it in the comments! (Fun note: I experimented, and you can freeze these pizzas, fully dressed, and bake them at 425ยฐ for 30 minutes with fantastic fresh pizza results! YAY!! More Pizza, later on!!)
