Cooking tips

For best results, use puff pastry straight from the refrigerator—it rises better in the oven.

Be sure to prick the dough with a fork to prevent large air bubbles from forming while baking.

Don't overdo it with tomato paste - too much can make the dough too wet and soft.

For a more flavorful dish, add a little oregano or garlic to the mushrooms when frying.

For an even juicier mozzarella pizza, add a little olive oil to the dough before adding the sauce.

Avoid adding too much filling as this may result in uneven baking and a soggy base.

Let the pizza cool slightly after baking to allow the cheese to set and prevent it from spreading when slicing – this will make the pizza perfect for serving.
