Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 Puff Pastry rectangular roll
- ½ cup Tomato passata plain
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ½ tablespoon Olive Oil extra virgin
- ⅛ teaspoon dried Oregano optional
- 1 Mozzarella ball
- Olive Oil
- Salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Unroll the cold puff pastry sheet on the lined baking sheet and cut out the Christmas trees using a cookie cutter.
- Remove the excess puff pastry and spread the trees a little bit on the baking sheet.
- Meanwhile, prepare the pizza sauce. In a bowl, add the plain tomato passata sauce, then add the ½ teaspoon of salt, ½ tablespoon of good olive oil and ⅛ teaspoon of dried Oregano (optional). Mix well and set aside. Adjust seasonings to taste.
- Spread the tomato sauce on each tree with a spoon, then and the shredded Mozzarella cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven, in the lower rack, for about 15 minutes. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Make sure the puff pastry is thawed properly before use. Leaving it in the fridge overnight is the best way to thaw it evenly. If you're in a hurry, you can also thaw it at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- If you use fresh puff pastry, take it out of the fridge, wait 5 minutes then unroll it and cut out the tree shapes immediately. If it gets too warm, it will be difficult to move the cut-out pieces.
- To save time, you can also make the Christmas tree mini pizzas in advance and freeze them (only if you're using fresh dough). Simply assemble the bites, freeze them on a baking sheet, and then transfer them to a freezer bag. When you're ready to bake them, simply add a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
