My Pizza Recipe- Lisa Alhage

Today, I decided to make a pizza to help me procrastinate for my long day of planned study. I wasn’t sure at first what I should make. I saw some pastry sheets lying in the freezer and I do remember they had some serving suggestions to make pizzas using the puff pastry as a pizza base.

I wasn’t sure if it would work and taste as nice as a pizza. I found all the toppings I wanted to put on my pizza and went for it.

This is the recipe I made. Hope you enjoy it.

Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 sheet of puff pastry
• 1 egg
• 2 tbsp of tomato paste
• 2 tbsp of garlic sauce
• Mozzarella cheese
• Boiled chicken breast
• ¼ of an onion sliced
• ½ of a tomato
• Black olives
• Oregano
• Salt and pepper

Method

1.  Pre-heat oven to 250 degrees celcius.
2.  Thaw the puff pastry to room temperature.
3.  Fold half a cm on the side of the pastry to create a crust.
4.  Spread out the tomato paste and garlic sauce on the base of the pizza.
5.  Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
6.  Open up the chicken into smaller pieces and place them over the base of the pizza.
7.  Place the olives, onion and tomatoes over the base aswell.
8.  Sprinkle some oregano, salt and pepper as wanted.
9.  Brush some egg on the sides of the pizza to give a golden touch when cooked.

    10.Place the pizza in the oven and cook for 20 minutes or until the ingredients are fully cooked.

Reviews and alterations

This recipe was really quick to make which could be made in half an hour. I do love making pizzas but usually don’t because it takes too long by having to make the pizza base. This time the puff pastry was the base. It turned out what expected with a couple of things I would change though.

Like first of all I would put less garlic (even though I’m middle eastern and we love our garlic) as the garlic taste was over powering the pizza.

Another thing I would change would be to mix up the cheese a bit and not put only one type because the cheese became too stringy when biting into the pizza.

I think the pizza wouldn’t have tasted as good if there were no oregano herbs. The oregano gave the pizza a wonderful taste.

Over all, I liked this idea of using puff pastry as the base of the pizza and it did taste wonderful and would be even more if the alterations were made.

I would rate this recipe 7/10 and I would make this recipe again.
