Puff pastry pizza toppings
I've kept this recipe really simple - just tomato sauce, cheese and oregano. But there's so much more you could do with it.
Here are some of our favourite additions:
- a few dollops of pesto
- any chopped vegetables that you enjoy eating on pizza
- pineapple
- pine nuts
- raisins
- sweetcorn
- sundried tomatoes
- capers
- sliced red onion
- freshly torn basil
- olives.
It's a great recipe for kids to make too. See more easy recipes for kids to cook.
Is it worth making your own tomato sauce?
Well, yes I think it is. Homemade tomato sauce always tastes great and it'll make your puff pastry pizza even more delicious.
For this reason I've included a recipe below for how to make your own homemade tomato sauce. However, as I mention above, any tomato based sauce will work well here. Feel free to use shop bought tomato sauce or passata to make this even quicker.

Can this be frozen?
Yes. This easy pizza recipe freezes well. Let it cool completely then cut it into portions (I usually do eight) and pop in the freezer for last minute lunches or to put in a lunchbox.
Freeze for an hour on a tray first or slip a little bit of baking paper between each slice to prevent them from sticking together.

Easy puff pastry pizza tart
Ingredients
- 375 g sheet of ready rolled puff pastry
- 50 g grated cheddar cheese or shredded mozzarella or vegan alternative
- 1 tsp dried oregano
For the tomato sauce
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic crushed
- 400 g tinned chopped tomatoes
- 1 tbsp tomato purée
- dash balsamic vinegar
- ½ lemon juiced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
Instructions
For the tomato sauce
- Heat the olive oil over a medium heat in a small saucepan. Add the onion, stir and reduce the heat to low. Cover and sweat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until completely soft.
- Remove the lid, add the garlic and cook for a further minute. Add the chopped tomatoes, tomato purée, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice and dried oregano.
- Bring to the boil and then reduce the heat to low and allow to simmer for anything up to one hour until the sauce has thickened. Don't worry if you don't have an hour - a few minutes will be fine.
- If desired you can blend the sauce at this stage.
To make the puff pastry pizza
- Preheat the oven to 180°C(fan)/200°C/gas mark 6.
- Unroll the puff pastry and place on a baking tray. Spread with the tomato sauce (you won't need all of it so you can keep the rest for pasta or freeze for a future date).
- Sprinkle over the grated or shredded cheese and finally the oregano.
- Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and bubbling.
- Allow to cool on a wire rack and then cut into eight slices. Freezes well.

This looks so good! If you're making it the night before and want to use it for school lunches the next day, would you suggest heating it back up the next morning, or having the child eat the pizza cold?? Thanks!
