Ingredients

1 sheet frozen puff pastry thawed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 teaspoons minced garlic
8 ounces mushrooms or whatever veggies you want, sliced
2 tablespoons white wine can substitute chicken broth or water
1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
½ cup black olives sliced
½ tablespoon basil leaves
1 teaspoon parsley
⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with a nonstick silicon mat or parchment paper.
Roll out thawed pastry onto prepared baking sheet and slice in half (width-wise).
1 sheet frozen puff pastry
Brush 1 tablespoon of olive oil across each pastry sheet, making sure to cover it all the way to the edges. Add more oil if you need it.
2 tablespoons olive oil
In a large pan, combine butter, garlic and mushrooms over medium heat. Sauté for a couple minutes, salt and pepper to taste.
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, 8 ounces mushrooms, 2 teaspoons minced garlic
Add wine (or broth/water) and stir frequently until the liquid has mostly cooked off. Turn off the heat.
2 tablespoons white wine
On each prepared pastry sheet, cover the center with the cheese, leaving a small border all the way around.
1 cup mozzarella cheese
Add the sautéed vegetables, and then top with olives, basil, parsley and red pepper. Add more cheese if desired.
1/2 cup black olives, 1/2 tablespoon basil leaves, 1 teaspoon parsley, 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Bake for 10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the pastry is golden brown.
Let the pizza set for a couple minutes before slicing into four or six pieces each, and then serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Sauce: A heavy sauce may cause the pastry to get a bit soggy, so I recommend no sauce or keeping it light.

Seasoning: Try adding a sprinkle of Italian seasoning!
