Ingredients
  

  • 1 sheet puff pastry
  • 1/2 cup jarred marinara
  • 1 ball mozzerella (cut into thick slices)
  • 10 basil leaves (chopped)
  • olive oil spray

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and spray the sheet pan with olive oil spray.
  • First, using your Hannukah cookie cutters, cut out the Hanukkah shapes in the mozzerella slices. Set aside for later use.
  • Next, place the puff pastry on the sheet pan and roll out to 2 inches more on all sides (see the video above). TIP: Use a glass to roll out puff pastry if you do not have a rolling pin.
  • Now, place sheet pan in the fridge for 30 minutes or overnight so the puff pastry is cold when goes in the oven. Note: Puff pastry is layers of butter. When the butter hots the hot oven its steams and pushes up the layers of pastry to make a light fluffy texture.
  • Next, take the sheet pan out of the fridge and crimp the edges to create a 1 inch boarder. Also, using a fork prick the inside area of puff pastry so the middle does not rise (only the edges rise to create picture frame look).
  • Now, pour the marinara in the center and spread out. Put in the oven for 20 minutes on the middle rack. Check at 15 so puff pastry does not burn.
  • Finally, let puff pastry cool, add the mozzerella Hanukkah shapes in a row to the puff pastry, and sprinkle with basil!
  • Happy Hannukah and Grateful for you!
