Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet of puff pastry (thawed if frozen, approximately 17.3 oz)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup sliced pepperoni (about 4 oz)
- 1/4 cup pizza sauce (for dipping)
- 1 large egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Flour (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200 °C (180 °C for fan oven) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Ensure your puff pastry is fully thawed. Roll it out on a lightly floured surface until it's about 0.5 cm thick.
- Cut the puff pastry into even strips about 5 cm wide and 15 cm long.
- Evenly distribute a handful of mozzarella cheese on the lower half of each pastry strip.
- Place a layer of beef pepperoni over the cheese and sprinkle with oregano and garlic powder as desired.
- Fold the top half of the pastry strip over the filling to create a pocket. Press the edges firmly with a fork to seal.
- Whisk the egg with a tablespoon of water and brush the tops of the pastry pockets to achieve a golden color when baking.
- Place the filled pastry pockets on the baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Be careful not to let them get too dark!
- Serve the Beef Pepperoni Pizza Puff Pastry Twists warm with pizza sauce for dipping. They are perfect for parties or as a snack!

Keywords: Make sure the puff pastry is well-chilled before working with it for optimal flakiness. Avoid overloading the filling, as this can cause the pockets to burst while baking. Use parchment paper on the baking sheet to prevent sticking, and consider spraying a little oil on the paper for extra assurance. Feel free to experiment with the ingredients by adding extra vegetables or trying different types of cheese.
