Delicious Puff Pastry “Girelle alla Pizzaiola”

The soft and delicious “girelle alla pizzaiola” will quickly become anyone’s favorite, savory finger food.

When I made it for my children, they were a bit hesitant at first, as most people are to new foods, but immediately after the first bite, they reached out to grab one more piece.

After a good 15 minutes, they gobbled them all up and were immediately asking for more.

Be ready to take on the responsibility of making these at least once a week to satisfy your and other’s dependency.  

Consistency is key with this recipe. The softness of the sauce and mozzarella contrast with the crunchiness of the puff pastry but completes it all the same.
