The Pesto Caprese Puff Pastry Pizza is a delightful combination of flaky pastry, vibrant pesto, fresh mozzarella, and juicy tomatoes, perfect for impressing guests or satisfying cravings with its rich flavors.

Ingredients

Scale

Puff Pastry

  • 1 sheet of puff pastry

Pesto Sauce

  • 1/2 cup pesto sauce

Fresh Mozzarella

  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella, sliced

Cherry Tomatoes

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Fresh Basil Leaves

  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that your puff pastry bakes evenly and achieves that perfect golden color.
  2. Prepare the Puff Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it carefully to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Spread the Pesto: Evenly spread a generous layer of pesto sauce over the puff pastry, leaving a small border around the edges for a nice crust.
  4. Add the Cheese and Tomatoes: Place slices of fresh mozzarella evenly over the pesto. Follow this with halved cherry tomatoes, arranging them beautifully across the surface.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Place the prepared pizza in the oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is puffed up and golden brown.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and top with fresh basil leaves. Slice and serve immediately for the best taste experience!

Notes

  • Don’t Skip the Parchment Paper: It prevents sticking and makes clean-up a breeze.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh basil and mozzarella will elevate the flavors of your dish significantly.
  • Keep an Eye on the Oven: Ovens can vary, so watch your pizza closely as it bakes to avoid overcooking.
  • Let It Cool: Allow your pizza to cool slightly before slicing to maintain its shape and prevent toppings from sliding off.
  • Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to try different kinds of pesto for a unique twist.
