Puff Pastry Pepperoni Pizza Roll Recipes

PEPPERONI PIZZA POCKETS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Cut the puff pastry into six rectangles and place on a nonstick baking tray.
• On one rectangle, spread a tablespoon of marinara, avoiding the edges of the pastry. Top with pepperoni slices and cheese.
• Place a rectangle of pastry on top and seal the edges with a fork. Repeat with remaining pastry rectangles.
• Brush the pockets with egg wash.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the pastry is flaky and golden.
• Enjoy!

PEPPERONI PIZZA PASTRIES

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• Combine the ricotta, mozzarella, flour, salt, oregano, a few turns of pepper, the chopped green pepper and 1 of the eggs in a large bowl.
• On a work surface lightly dusted with flour, roll the puff pastry out to 10-by-15 inches. If it gets sticky, dust with more flour. Cut the pastry into 6 squares and transfer to the lined baking sheet. Place a dollop of the cheese mixture into one of the corners of each square, leaving a 3/4-inch border. Create a well in the center of the cheese mixture and add a spoonful of sauce. Sprinkle with the mini pepperoni and any additional desired toppings. Beat the remaining egg with a splash of water in a bowl to make an egg wash and brush the edges of the pastry with it. Fold the pastry over and press to seal well, using a fork to pinch the edges. Repeat with the remaining pastry squares and filling. Brush the tops with the egg wash.
• Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Bake until golden brown; begin checking for doneness at 30 minutes. (It's alright if some of them break open at the seams while baking; it's part of their rustic charm.) Let cool slightly, then serve warm with additional pizza sauce for dunking. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and are great cold the next morning for breakfast! You can also prepare a whole batch a day or two in advance, store them in the fridge, and reheat them for a few minutes in a 325 degree F oven before serving.

PUFF PASTRY PIZZA PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Remove puff pastry from box, but leave in package. Allow to thaw at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray, and set aside.
• Carefully remove thawed puff pastry sheets from wrapper, 1 sheet at a time and place on a lightly floured surface. Use a rolling pin to smooth the creases and slightly elongate the rectangle.
• Place 1/4 cup of the pizza sauce on the top of the sheet and spread over the top, covering all but about 1/2-inch on each of the long sides.
• Line pepperoni slices across the top of the sauce, covering everywhere the sauce is. I used ~48 slices per sheet.
• Sprinkle 1 cup of the cheese evenly across the top of each pastry sheet.
• Starting with long side, roll the pastry sheet up tightly, pressing the dough at the end to help seal it.
• Use a sharp knife to cut into 1-inch slices and lay on the prepared baking sheet.
• Repeat process with the second pastry sheet.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until pastry is golden and cheese begins to brown.
• Allow to cool slightly before removing from the baking sheet. Serve with extra sauce, if desired!

PUFF PASTRY PEPPERONI PIZZA ROLL

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the bottom position of the oven, put a baking stone or a baking sheet on it and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line another baking sheet with parchment.
• Toss and squeeze together the mozzarella, salami, pepperoni, Parmesan, 4 tablespoons of the breadcrumbs, 1 of the eggs, banana peppers, oregano, 1/4 teaspoon salt and red pepper flakes in a medium bowl; set aside.
• Dust a work surface with flour, and unfold the puff pastry sheet onto it. Roll it out into a 9-by-15-inch rectangle. Transfer the pastry to the prepared baking sheet.
• Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon breadcrumbs lengthwise down the center of the pastry. Pile and pack the cheese mixture into a log on top of the breadcrumbs, leaving a 1-inch border on the 2 short ends and about a 3-inch border on the 2 long sides. Fold the 1-inch borders to overlap the filling. Use kitchen shears to snip inch-wide strips of dough along both long sides that stop 1/2 inch from the filling, like a kind of fringe.
• Brush the pastry all over with some of the remaining beaten egg. Starting at 1 short end, alternate folding the strips, on a slight diagonal, over the filling to make a design that looks vaguely like a braid. The filling should be mostly covered, but some will peek out from the spaces between the strips. Holding both ends of the roll, bend it into a U shape. Brush the top and sides with more egg. Sprinkle oregano, red pepper flakes and Parmesan all over the top.
• Put the baking sheet with the pizza roll on top of the preheated baking sheet, and bake until golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the pizza sauce. Use a serrated knife to slice the roll into pieces. Serve the pizza sauce on the side for dunking.
