Puff Pastry Pizza Twists Recipe

The only ingredients you will need to make these addictingly good snacks are:

• Puff pastry sheets
• Pizza sauce
• Your favorite toppings ( I used pepperoni and chopped bell peppers)
• Cheese

The great thing about this recipe is that you can customize the dishes with whatever ingredients you have on hand.

The pizza sauce I used already have all the flavorings in it including garlic and a little oregano. But I like to add more oregano to level up the flavor. If you don’t have oregano, substitute with any dried herbs like parsley, thyme or rosemary. Italian seasoning would be a perfect addition too.

Pepperoni is obviously a super popular choice, so I decided to chop up some into small bits and just sprinkle it over the pastry in an even layer. The veggies, in this case bell peppers or capsicums, are totally optional. However, I really like the pops of red on the pastry. Want to make these pizza twists spicy? Add a light sprinkle of red pepper (chili) flakes. Delicious!

The final ingredient is the quintessential topping of every pizza – cheese. Don’t you love the cheese pull? And to perfect the cheese pull, you will need to add grated mozzarella. Cheesy mozzarella in puff pastry is the best!

Now, place the other puff pastry sheet on top of this sheet. Cut into wide strips. And twist. Some of the fillings may come out, but you can just pop them back into the pastry twists. Finally, brush with beaten egg and bake.

Delicious pizza twists for the ultimate snack idea! Enjoy!
