NOTES

🍕 Make sure your puff pastry sheets come right out of the refrigerator before baking.
🍕 Check for any leftovers in the fridge and use them for the topping. Use your imagination.
🍕 Save your pizza tarts for up to 3 days in an airtight container in the fridge. When freezing them, first freeze them on a baking sheet and place the in the container or plastic bag when they are already frozen and solid. 
🍕 Do not use any additional sauce toppings like tomato sauce, if the puff pastry will be too moist, it won't rise while baking and become fluffy and crunchy. 
🍕 When using frozen puff pastry dough, it's best to thaw it overnight in the fridge.
🍕 Freeze and thaw your puff pastry pizza bites only once. 
🍕 The longer premade puff pastry sheets are stored in the fridge, the better they taste.  Still, be mindful of the expiry date on the package.
