Steps
Start by unrolling a ready-made pizza dough on a baking tray. Then evenly distribute some tomato sauce seasoned with a pinch of salt.
Place slices of mozzarella on the tomato sauce, making sure to cover the entire surface evenly. Sprinkle with some oregano for an aromatic touch.
Add slices of cooked ham, creating a generous layer that will give flavor and texture to your Parisian pizza.
Unroll a sheet of puff pastry and place it over the filling, completely covering it. Seal the edges well to prevent leaks during baking and brush the surface with milk, which will help achieve a perfect golden color. Poke the pastry with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
Bake in a preheated oven at 356°F for about 25-30 minutes, until the surface is well golden and crispy.
Once out of the oven, let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Parisian pizza is delicious hot, but retains all its flavor even at room temperature, making it ideal for picnics or buffets.
Enjoy your meal!
Storage and Tips
Parisian pizza is also great the next day, as long as it is stored properly. Here are some tips to maintain the freshness and flavor of your Parisian pizza:
If you plan to consume the pizza within a couple of days, let it cool completely at room temperature before storing it in the refrigerator. Wrap it well with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container to prevent it from drying out.
To reheat Parisian pizza, avoid the microwave, which can make the puff pastry soggy. Prefer the oven: preheat it to 356°F and reheat the pizza for 10-15 minutes, until it is well heated and the pastry becomes crispy again. Alternatively, you can use a non-stick pan, heating the pizza over low heat and covering it with a lid for a few minutes.
