Pizza-style pastry sheets, tasty delights with ready-made puff pastry, to make in just a few minutes in an air fryer, but of course, they can also be made in a traditional oven. Great for a starter or a tasty appetizer, even smaller, or as in my case, as a single dish, nice and plump, for a tasty dinner, to enjoy even on the couch watching TV. I had a spare puff pastry roll in the fridge, and today I had just bought some good cooked ham, so the idea came to me to prepare something quick and tasty for dinner. Tonight I didn’t feel like the usual vegetables I usually prepare for dinner, even though the idea of adding some sautéed mushrooms crossed my mind, but I didn’t feel like cooking tonight, so I made them really simple, but I guarantee they were so good there weren’t even crumbs left. So enough chatter, let’s go prepare them.

Steps for Preparing Pizza-style Pastry Sheets
Open a roll of rectangular puff pastry and divide into 4 parts, 4 large rectangles. Fold each part in half lengthwise, then unfold and cut half into fringe, slicing parallel strips to leave attached to the other half. Then fold the full half over the fringed half.
In a small bowl, mix the tomato paste with dried oregano and dilute with water.
Fill one side with half a teaspoon of tomato paste, a thick piece of provola cheese, and approximately one slice of cooked ham. Fold with the unfilled half.
Prepare 4 pastry sheets and place them in the air fryer basket lined with parchment paper. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake in air fryer in oven mode at 356°F for 8 minutes, then turn and bake for another 4 minutes. Our pizza-style pastry sheets are now ready to enjoy, best served piping hot with a gooey center.
In a traditional oven, baking takes about 30 minutes in a static preheated oven at 356°F, and double the batch as they are very tempting.
Best enjoyed freshly baked, if any are left over or you want to prepare them in advance, it’s good to heat them before serving, always in the oven or air fryer, microwave is not recommended.
