Ingredients

• 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
• 1.5 cups Pizza sauce
• 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup Pepperoni slices
• 1 cup Cooked Italian sausage
• 0.5 cup Green bell pepper, diced
• 0.25 cup Black olives, sliced
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with olive oil.

Step 2

Unroll and lay one sheet of puff pastry on the bottom of the prepared casserole dish, ensuring it covers the base evenly. Trim any overhang, if required.

Step 3

Spread 3/4 cup of pizza sauce evenly over the puff pastry.

Step 4

Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by the cooked Italian sausage, diced green bell pepper, and sliced black olives.

Step 5

Add a layer of pepperoni slices and sprinkle 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese evenly over the toppings.

Step 6

Sprinkle Italian seasoning and garlic powder over the toppings for added flavor.

Step 7

Unroll the second sheet of puff pastry and place it carefully on top of the filling. Trim any excess pastry and press the edges together to seal.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the top sheet of puff pastry to ensure a golden, glossy finish when baked.

Step 9

Using a sharp knife, cut small slits into the top puff pastry layer to allow steam to escape.

Step 10

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed.

Step 11

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy this flavorful, cheesy Pizza Puff Casserole with your favorite sides or a simple green salad.
