Quick flaky pizza

This pizza with a difference has a thin puff-pastry base instead the traditional dough.

Apart from this small refinement, the basic elements you would expect are all there: tomato sauce, a variety of toppings and fresh basil leaves.

Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 5 min.

Fry 100 g ham in 2 tablespoons olive oil until lightly browned.Set aside.

Stage 2 - 3 min.

Preheat the oven to 460°F (240°C).

Roll out 400 g Puff or flaky pastry (pâte feuilletée) on a baking sheet.If your pastry comes with a sheet of paper, leave it on this.

Prick all over with a pique-vite (pastry pricker).

Stage 3 - 3 min.

Spread 240 g Tomato sauce (for pizzas) evenly over the pastry, leaving a quarter inch (0.5 cm) bare around the edge. Scatter 2 tablespoons herbes de Provence over.

Stage 4 - 1 min.

Arrange the ham on top and any other toppings you would like.

I've added chorizo here...

Stage 5 - 2 min.

...some finely diced mozarella...

Stage 6 - 2 min.

...goat's cheese, mushrooms, etc.

Stage 7 - 20 min.

Bake right away in a really hot oven, and near the bottom of the oven rather than in the middle.

As soon as the pizza is cooked, take it out of the oven, drizzle a little Herb olive oil over and scatter a few fresh basil leaves on top.

Serve immediately.

Remarks

This is typically something to make after a pizza party: if you have leftover ingredients from your last batch of pizzas, but no more dough and really can't face making any more, a bit of puff pastry and you're good to go.

Keeping

Should be eaten immediately.
