Veg Pizza Puff Recipe is a snack consisting of pastry sheet stuffed with a filling consisting of vegetables, cheese, and sauce. Typically veg. pizza puffs are deep fried but here we will be baking them for a healthier version. These puffs are inspired by McPuffs available at McDonald’s across its counters in India.
The best part about this Veg Pizza Puff Recipe is the absolutely flavourful and very well balanced stuffing. The stuffing has lots of vegetables which have been made delightful by adding a lot of kids’ favorites such as pizza sauce, cheese, oregano, etc. The pastry sheets have been prepared with all purpose flour. We need very stiff dough for absolutely smooth and perfect puffs.
