Recipe Ingredients
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 1 (6oz.) package sliced pepperoni
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 mozzarella string cheese, or slice of mozzarella cheese
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 cup marinara sauce, warmed
Recipe Directions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and coat with nonstick cooking spray. Layer pepperoni slices into 4 2x4-inch football shapes on prepared baking sheet, arranging them about 2 inches apart. Top each pepperoni mound evenly with roughly 1 tablespoon mozzarella.
- Using a paring knife, cut pastry into 4 3x5-inch football-shapes. Top each pepperoni mound with one piece of pastry, pressing down the edges to seal. Using a fork, poke small holes on the tops of each pastry along the center. Brush pastry with egg.
- Bake until golden-brown and crispy, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from baking sheet and invert onto serving tray.
- Slice string cheese into short and long strips to resemble football laces. Arrange string cheese strips on top of pizza to resemble football laces. Serve with marinara sauce and enjoy.
