- French Pizza

FRENCH PIZZA


1 pkg frozen puff pastry
1 egg yolk blended with 1 tsp water
1/2 cup spaghetti sauce, canned or your own
20 thin slices pepperoni
5 slices ham, 4 inches square, 1/4 in. thick
3 tablespoons chopped green onions
pinch Italian Seasoning
6 oz. Mozzarella cheese, grated (2/3 to 1 cup is what I use)

Thaw puff pastry and roll into a 9 x 16 inch rectangle. Cut into two pieces - one four inches and one five inches in width. Brush edges with egg yolk mixture.

Place larger rectangle on a greased cookie sheet and spread spaghetti sauce over to within one inch of the edges. Arrange pepperoni, ham, onions and seasoning on top then sprinkle over the cheese.

Place the other piece of dough on top and seal with the bottom crust. Press edges together with a force. Brush top with egg yolk mixture and make four slits in the top.

Bake at 425° for about 25 minutes, cut into squares and serve hot.

Freeze this after cooking and then re-heat it at about 350° til it looks bubbly.

Thanks Vicki!
