Ingredients
  • 400 g yeast-free puff pastry dough
  • Pizza sauce about ½ cup, or as needed
  • 200 g mozzarella cheese, grated
  • Hunters sausage, sliced or chopped amount as preferred
  • 1 large egg, beaten for egg wash

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat OvenSet your oven to 190°C (375°F) and allow it to fully preheat.
  2. Prepare the Puff PastryRoll out the yeast-free puff pastry dough on a floured surface into a rectangle or square. If your dough is pre-rolled, gently unroll and smooth it out.
  3. Cut Dough into SquaresCut the dough into even squares—about 10cm (4 inches) wide—large enough to hold a good amount of filling.
  4. Add Pizza SauceSpread a spoonful of pizza sauce onto the center of each square, leaving a border around the edges.
  5. Add Cheese and SausageSprinkle grated mozzarella over the sauce, then add sliced or chopped hunters sausage on top.
  6. Fold and SealFold each square over to form a triangle or rectangle and press the edges firmly to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for extra security and a decorative finish.
  7. Apply Egg WashBrush each puff pastry pocket with beaten egg to give them a golden, shiny crust when baked.
  8. BakePlace the pizza puffs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the oven for 15–20 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
  9. Cool and ServeLet them cool slightly before serving to avoid burning your mouth on the hot cheese inside.
  10. Can I use homemade puff pastry instead of store-bought?Yes, homemade works great but make sure it’s yeast-free for this recipe.
  11. What if I don’t have hunters sausage?Any cooked sausage or pepperoni will work well.
  12. Can I freeze these before baking?Yes, freeze after assembling on a tray, then bake from frozen adding a few extra minutes.
  13. Can I add vegetables to the filling?Absolutely! Finely diced peppers, mushrooms, or onions work well.
  14. What if I don’t have an egg for the wash?Brush with milk or melted butter as an alternative.
  15. How do I prevent the pastry from getting soggy?Avoid overloading with sauce and bake on parchment or a wire rack.
  16. Can I make them gluten-free?Use gluten-free puff pastry dough, which is available in some stores.
  17. How long do leftovers keep?Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  18. How can I reheat leftover pizza puffs?Reheat in the oven or toaster oven to keep pastry crisp.
  19. Can I make these vegan?Yes, use vegan puff pastry, plant-based sausage, and vegan cheese.
