Can I make Puff Pastry Christmas Tree Pizza Bites ahead of time?

Yes, you can make these pizza bites ahead of time! Simply prepare them as directed, then freeze the assembled bites on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag or airtight container. When you're ready to bake, simply add a few extra minutes to the cooking time.

What can I use instead of puff pastry?

If you don't have puff pastry, you can use crescent roll dough as an alternative. While it won’t be as flaky, it will still create a delicious, soft crust. Other options include phyllo dough or homemade pizza dough.

How can I make Puff Pastry Christmas Tree Pizza Bites more festive?

To make these pizza bites even more festive, try using toppings in holiday colors, such as red bell peppers, green olives, or fresh basil leaves. You can also cut the puff pastry into other holiday shapes like stars or snowflakes for added fun.

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
Unroll the puff pastry sheet onto a lined baking sheet. Use a Christmas tree-shaped cookie cutter to cut out tree shapes from the puff pastry.
Prepare the pizza sauce by mixing tomato passata, olive oil, salt, and oregano (optional) in a bowl. Stir well and set aside.
Spread the pizza sauce on each puff pastry tree shape using a spoon.
Top each tree with shredded mozzarella cheese and mini pepperoni (optional).
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Thaw the puff pastry properly before using. The best method is to refrigerate overnight. Alternatively, leave it at room temperature for 30 minutes.
If you don’t have puff pastry, crescent roll dough can be used as an alternative.
Feel free to add other toppings like veggies or BBQ chicken for a unique twist.
These pizza bites can be assembled ahead of time and frozen. Add a few extra minutes to the baking time when reheating.
