Introduction
A brilliant French-inspired technique to turn normally soggy puff pastry pizza crusts into crispy, flaky, bite-sized pizza poppers. By scoring, baking, pressing down the center, and adding classic pizza toppings, every single bite achieves perfect texture.
Step 1
Cut out puff pastry rounds using a circular cutter, then use a slightly smaller cutter to punch a circle in the center of each round without removing the pastry. Gently press the center back into place.
Step 2
Bake the pastry rounds, then grate a generous amount of Parmesan cheese over each one to add a crispy texture and deep savory flavor.
Step 3
Carefully press down the center circle of the baked pastry to create a small cavity or well for the toppings.
Step 4
Fill the center cavity of each pastry round with pizza sauce, shredded mozzarella cheese, and a slice of pepperoni.
Step 5
Return the poppers to the oven and bake until the pepperoni is crispy and the cheese is bubbling and browned.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Do not remove the inner pastry circle after scoring; simply push it back into place before the initial bake.
Bake the puff pastry fully before adding wet toppings to prevent the crust from turning soggy.
Grate the Parmesan cheese finely so it melts evenly and forms a crispy crust around the pastry.
