They are small, round, simple, and so addictive that it is impossible to eat just one, especially when they are fresh out of the oven and that aroma of tomato and oregano fills everything.<\/p>\n<p>Today I want to show you my favorite version, the one that saves a dinner with friends in record time. Although in Rome we also find them made with bread dough, very thin and crispy, the ones we prepare today with puff pastry have that extraordinary and light touch that makes them irresistible. You only need a few basic ingredients that you surely have in your pantry to become the star host of any aperitif.

It is important that you prick the bases a little with a fork so that they do not rise too much in the center. The chef&#8217;s trick to not waste anything: gather the leftover dough, knead it gently, and roll it out again to get more units.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Prepare the Italian seasoning<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>In a bowl, mix the tomato with a pinch of salt, oregano, and a drizzle of olive oil. Stir well to integrate the flavors. Place the dough discs on a baking sheet and add a little of this mixture to the center of each one, without overdoing it so that the puff pastry does not get too soggy.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Add your favorite variations<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Now comes the fun part. You can leave some with just tomato, but I suggest my three favorite versions: some with a touch of grated Parmesan, others with mozzarella (make sure it is very dry!), and the most intense ones with a piece of anchovy and a caper. Finish with a little more oregano on top.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>The golden touch and baking<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>If you want them to have that professional bakery color, brush the edges with a little beaten egg, although it is optional. Put the tray in the oven preheated according to the instructions on your puff pastry package. Keep a close eye on them: when you see that they are puffed and toasted, it is time to take them out.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>Tips and tricks for a perfect result<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4><strong>Control the moisture of the ingredients<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>For the puff pastry pizzette to be crispy, it is essential that the mozzarella has lost all its liquid and that the tomato is thick. If you use very moist ingredients, the dough will soften and lose that delicious &#8220;crunch.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Don&#8217;t just rely on the timer<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Every oven is different and the package instructions are just a guide. My pro tip is to keep a close eye on the oven; the best visual indicator is that golden and toasted tone that tells us they are ready for the aperitif.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Reuse all the dough<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Never throw away the scraps left over from cutting the circles. Gather them all, give them a quick knead to flatten them, and you can get a couple of extra pizzette that are just as delicious even if they aren&#8217;t perfect circles.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div id=\"faq\">\n<h3>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h3>\n<div class=\"faq-item\" style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\">\n<h4>What type of dough is best for this recipe?<\/h4>\n<p style=\"font-family: 'Jost', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 5px;\">In this recipe, we use puff pastry because it is very fast and stays very crispy, but in Rome, those made with very thin bread dough are also very typical.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-item\" style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\">\n<h4>Is it necessary to brush the edges with egg?<\/h4>\n<p style=\"font-family: 'Jost', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 5px;\">It is optional.

bite of an appetizer. Puff pastry pizzette are the undisputed queens of those trays that fly away as soon as they reach the table. They are small, round, simple, and so addictive that it is impossible to eat just one, especially when they are fresh out of the oven and that aroma of tomato and oregano fills everything. Today I want to show you my favorite version, the one that saves a dinner with friends in record time. Although in Rome we also find them made with bread dough, very thin and crispy, the ones we prepare today with puff pastry have that extraordinary and light touch that makes them irresistible. You only need a few basic ingredients that you surely have in your pantry to become the star host of any aperitif. Let&#8217;s do it! Watch the video with all the steps Below you can watch the video with all the steps to prepare puff pastry pizzette in the easiest way. And if you haven&#8217;t already, I invite you to subscribe to my YouTube channel so you don&#8217;t miss any new recipes. Don&#8217;t forget to follow me on Instagram! There I share more recipes, tips, and special content for lovers of Italian cuisine. Main ingredients For 20-22 units &#x23f1; Preparation time: 10 min &#x23f1; Cooking time: 12-15 min 1 sheet of puff pastry Fried tomato or thick tomato sauce Mozzarella (well drained) Grated Parmesan 1 beaten egg (optional) Anchovies and capers Salt, extra virgin olive oil, and dried oregano Remember: At the end of the article, you will find the complete recipe card with detailed cooking and preparation times. How to prepare puff pastry pizzette Cut and prepare the base Roll out the puff pastry sheet and, with a cookie cutter or a glass, start marking the little circles. It is important that you prick the bases a little with a fork so that they do not rise too much in the center. The chef&#8217;s trick to not waste anything: gather the leftover dough, knead it gently, and roll it out again to get more units. Prepare the Italian seasoning In a bowl, mix the tomato with a pinch of salt, oregano, and a drizzle of olive oil. Stir well to integrate the flavors. Place the dough discs on a baking sheet and add a little of this mixture to the center of each one, without overdoing it so that the puff pastry does not get too soggy. Add your favorite variations Now comes the fun part. You can leave some with just tomato, but I suggest my three favorite versions: some with a touch of grated Parmesan, others with mozzarella (make sure it is very dry!), and the most intense ones with a piece of anchovy and a caper. Finish with a little more oregano on top. The golden touch and baking If you want them to have that professional bakery color, brush the edges with a little beaten egg, although it is optional. Put the tray in the oven preheated according to the instructions on your puff pastry package. Keep a close eye on them: when you see that they are puffed and toasted, it is time to take them out. Tips and tricks for a perfect result Control the moisture of the ingredients For the puff pastry pizzette to be crispy, it is essential that the mozzarella has lost all its liquid and that the tomato is thick. If you use very moist ingredients, the dough will soften and lose that delicious &#8220;crunch.&#8221; Don&#8217;t just rely on the timer Every oven is different and the package instructions are just a guide. My pro tip is to keep a close eye on the oven; the best visual indicator is that golden and toasted tone that tells us they are ready for the aperitif. Reuse all the dough Never throw away the scraps left over from cutting the circles. Gather them all, give them a quick knead to flatten them, and you can get a couple of extra pizzette that are just as delicious even if they aren&#8217;t perfect circles. Frequently Asked Questions What type of dough is best for this recipe? In this recipe, we use puff pastry because it is very fast and stays very crispy, but in Rome, those made with very thin bread dough are also very typical. Is it necessary to brush the edges with egg? It is optional. Many people don&#8217;t do it and they turn out great, but the beaten egg gives them a shine and a very appetizing golden color. Can I prepare them in advance? The ideal is to eat them freshly made to enjoy the crunch of the puff pastry, although they hold up well for a couple of hours if you keep them in a dry place.
