Pastry Pizza Rolls Recipe - kids party

One of the easiest and most successful kids appetizers for parties during the Holidays: puff pastry pizza rolls. Only few ingredients:

- puff pastry roll
- tomato sauce
- mozzarella cheese
- Parmesan cheese
- oregano (optional)
- flour to dust

Bake in preheated oven to 400F for 25/30 min.

Some tips from experience:
1. Roll the pastry to reach a 2mm thickness. This is important to obtain a fully cooked final roll. If you don't roll and thin the pastry layer, it will not cook nicely in the center.
2. Don't use too much tomato sauce. I like the thickness of Mutti "passata". You can also use tomato paste. Any extra tomato sauce or a too liquid one will simply leak out.
3. Use shredded mozzarella cheese, not the fresh one in the liquid. You basically want to use not too moist ingredients.
4. Parmesan Cheese. This is a great addition, do not skip it. It really enhances the flavor.
5. Do not skip the "refrigerate for 20 min" step. If you don't have 20 min, place the roll in the freezer. It's important as it will make the slicing of the rolls easier before baking them.

Enjoy!!
