Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unfold thawed puff pastry onto the prepared sheet. Smooth out any creases and score a 1/2-inch border around the edge without cutting through.
Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce within the scored border.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly over the sauce. Add desired toppings, keeping them evenly spaced and not too heavy.
Brush exposed pastry edges with olive oil.
Bake for 18–22 minutes, until the pastry is golden and puffed, and cheese is bubbling.
Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Scatter torn fresh basil on top. Slice and serve warm.

Notes

For added flavor, drizzle with chili-infused honey or sprinkle with grated Parmesan just before serving.
Use well-drained toppings to prevent sogginess.
For a crowd, cut into small squares for appetizers or use mini pastry squares for personal pizzas.
