Follow these simple steps to create your own Easy Pizza Roses:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a muffin tin by lightly greasing it.
2. Roll Out the Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet into a rectangle about 1/8 inch thick.
3. Cut the Pastry: Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the pastry into strips, each approximately 2 inches wide.
4. Spread Pizza Sauce: Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce along each strip of pastry.
5. Add Cheese and Toppings: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce and add your preferred toppings such as pepperoni.
6. Fold the Strips: Fold each strip in half lengthwise, so the cheese and toppings are on the inside.
7. Form the Roses: Starting at one end, roll the folded strip into a rose shape, tucking the outer edges in as you go.
8. Place in Muffin Tin: Place each rose into the prepared muffin tin, standing upright.
9. Brush with Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the roses with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
10. Season and Bake: Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
11. Cool and Garnish: Allow the pizza roses to cool slightly before removing them from the muffin tin. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.

By following these steps, you’ll create a batch of Easy Pizza Roses that are both delicious and visually appealing.
