This puff pastry braid with pepperoni and mozzarella is a pizza-inspired favourite that is guaranteed to go down well with the whole family.
The pastry is filled with a layer of pizza sauce, pepperoni and mozzarella, then braided and baked until crisp, golden and irresistible. A gooey, satisfying dish that works just as well for dinner as for a cosy snack.
Serve your pizza braid with a fresh, crisp salad to round off the meal, or serve it as a starter.
It is at its best warm from the oven, but it is also good cold – perfect for an easy lunch or the lunchbox.
A versatile recipe that is always a hit.

Method
- Unroll the puff pastry on a sheet of baking parchment and cut diagonal strips along the long edges, each strip reaching about 1/3 of the way in towards the centre of the sheet. Do this on both sides.See the photo just below the recipe.
- Spread the pizza sauce down the centre, top with half the cheese, then the pepperoni, and finish with the rest of the cheese on top. Scatter a few fresh basil leaves over the filling too, if you like.Season with a little salt, freshly ground pepper and a sprinkling of dried oregano.
- Fold the ends of the pastry in over the filling, then fold the strips in over the filling, alternating from side to side – one at a time. See the video above the recipe, if you like.
- Brush the top with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds, then bake the braid in a preheated oven at 200°C, conventional (top and bottom heat), for about 20 minutes.
- Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Kan den laves i Air fryer?☺️
Hejsa
Ja hvis din airfryer er stor nok, så kan den sagtens 🙂
10-15 grader ned for temperaturen plejer at fugere fint 🙂
Warm wishes, Dianna
Super lækker!
