Ingredients
5sheetsPuff pastry, thawed
3.5ozSucuk (Turkish sausage), diced
3piecesHot dog sausages, sliced
½cupSweet corn
1mediumGreen bell pepper, finely diced
1mediumRed pepper, finely diced
1.5cupsShredded kashar cheese (or mozzarella)
1largeEgg yolk (for brushing edges)
For the Quick Pizza Sauce
1tbspTomato paste
2-3tbspWater
1tspDried oregano
Equipment
Baking Sheet & Parchment Paper: Essential for a mess-free bake and easy cleanup.
Pastry Brush: To evenly spread your sauce or a light egg wash on the edges for extra shine.
Fork: For pricking the dough to ensure the perfect crust shape.
Pizza Cutter or Sharp Knife: To slice your puff pastry sheets into perfect mini squares.
Method
Cut each thawed puff pastry sheet in half to create two rectangles (or squares, depending on your brand). Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Lightly brush the edges of each pastry piece with beaten egg yolk. This will give your "pizzas" a beautiful golden shine.
In a small bowl, mix the tomato paste, water, and dried oregano until smooth. Spread a thin layer of this sauce in the center of each pastry, leaving the egg-washed edges clear.
In a separate bowl, toss together the diced sucuk, sliced sausages, corn, green peppers, and red peppers.
Generously sprinkle the shredded kashar cheese over the toppings.
Place in a preheated oven at 200°C (390°F). Bake until the pastry edges have puffed up and turned a deep golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly charred (usually 18-22 minutes).
Let them cool for 2-3 minutes so the pastry sets, then serve warm.
For extra flaky layers, keep the puff pastry cold until baking — if it becomes too soft, chill it in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes before putting it in the oven.
