- If using, scatter the mini pepperoni and chopped bell peppers over the cheese.

- Customize your toppings with your favorite pizza ingredients like mushrooms, onions, or olives.
- Ensure puff pastry is fully thawed before unrolling to prevent cracking.
- The egg wash helps create a beautiful golden crust.
