The theme for Monday posts in March is Fun with Pastry.
No, I’m not making pastry nor am I giving recipes for pastry.
I buy it.
The recipes will be using purchased puff pastry or phyllo (filo) dough.
Both puff pastry and phyllo can be frozen and re-frozen (once).
Mini Pizzas are fun to make, and easy with purchased puff pastry. They can be for lunch, first course, or a snack.
Make them any shape you like that works with your sheet of pastry.

That’s it!
I haven’t tried this with puff pastry, but I’m going to have to. Sometimes, I just want a little piece of pizza and I don’t want to buy a big pizza and wait for delivery and then try to figure out what to do with the rest of it. I know it’s freezable, but still…
I’ve never lived in a place that had pizza delivery. We tried once, when we lived in MN. We called and said we would order from them if they promised not to try to deliver in whatever time frame they were advertising as our road was too narrow and curvy. We ordered, the driver drove like a fool, we never ordered again. Did not want to have our neighbors all killed by the pizza delivery guy.
