🤔 FAQs
These are the questions we are most frequently asked about making a Bruschetta recipe.
Bruschetta is typically made of tomatoes, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, mozzarella cheese, and basil on top of crispy bread slices.
In Italian bruschetta means to roast over coals.

👩🏻🍳 Tips
- Make sure that your sheet of puff pastry thaws before you add it to the oven. It doesn't have to come to room temperature but it needs to be thawed before baking.
- Don't skip the browning of the puff pastry pizza crust. This step prevents you from having a soggy puff pastry pizza.
- If you are using larger tomatoes be sure to roast halved tomatoes into a whole.
- Instead of parchment paper, you can also line your sheet pan with a silicone baking mat.
- Make sure when you are making your eggwash that your egg yolk is completely blended before you brush it on top of this flaky crust.
- Brush the egg wash all the way to the edge of the puff pastry sheet so that it browns evenly.
- You don't need the entire pastry sheet for this recipe, so you can put the third piece back in the freezer to use for a different recipe.

- Change this puff pastry pizza recipe up and use your favorite toppings to add more flavor.
- If you don't like biting into tomatoes, you can coat the puff pastry crust in a layer of tomato sauce or homemade pizza sauce instead.
