Step by step – How to make mini rolled pizza:

1. Thawing the dough: Start by letting the puff pastry sheet thaw. It is ideal to take it out of the freezer about 30 minutes before you start preparing, to soften slightly.

2. Rolling out the dough: Once the dough is thawed, place it on a lightly floured work surface. Use a rolling pin to roll the sheet into a rectangular shape, about 5 mm thick. Make sure the dough is evenly rolled out to allow for even baking.

3. Applying the tomato paste: In a small bowl, mix the 3 tablespoons of tomato paste with oregano and pepper. Use a spatula or spoon to spread this mixture over the entire surface of the dough. This will be the flavorful base of your mini pizza.

4. Adding the ingredients: Evenly sprinkle the bacon slices over the dough, followed by the bell pepper strips and sliced olives. Finally, add the grated cheese on top, ensuring it is evenly distributed to melt beautifully during baking.

5. Rolling the dough: Carefully start rolling the dough from one corner, trying to achieve a tight roll. Be careful not to disturb the filling during this stage. Use a little water on the edge of the dough to seal it once you finish rolling.

6. Cutting the rolls: With a sharp knife, cut the roll into thick slices of about 1.5 cm. Place each slice in a baking tray lined with parchment paper, greased with a little oil, leaving a bit of space between each to allow for expansion during baking.

7. Preparing the brushing mixture: In a small bowl, mix the egg yolk with the 2 tablespoons of milk. Use a pastry brush to brush each mini pizza slice with this mixture, which will give a golden and appetizing crust.

8. Baking: Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the tray with mini rolled pizzas in and let them bake for 25-30 minutes, until they become golden and crispy. Make sure to check them occasionally to avoid burning.

9. Serving: Once the mini rolled pizzas are ready, take them out of the oven and let them cool slightly. You can serve them warm or cold, accompanied by ketchup or your favorite sauce. A cold beer or a glass of red wine will pair perfectly with these treats!

Variation suggestions:
- Instead of bacon, you can use ham, salami, or even vegetables for a vegetarian option.
- Experiment with different types of cheese, such as mozzarella or goat cheese, to add varied flavors.
- Add extra spices, such as basil or garlic powder, for an extra kick of flavor.

Nutritional benefits:
This recipe is rich in protein due to the cheese and bacon, also providing a supply of vitamins and minerals from the vegetables. While it is delicious, it is important to consume it in moderation, especially if you are mindful of your caloric intake. A serving of 100g of these mini rolled pizzas can contain approximately 250-300 calories, depending on the ingredients used.

Frequently asked questions:
1. Can I use homemade puff pastry?
Yes, homemade puff pastry will add a personal touch to the recipe, but make sure it is well chilled before use.

2. How can I store leftovers?
Mini rolled pizzas can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. You can reheat them in the oven to regain their crispy texture.

3. What other sauces can I use?
Besides ketchup, you can also serve them with yogurt sauces, ranch sauce, or even a spicy sauce, depending on your preferences.

These mini rolled pizzas are not only easy to make but also extremely versatile. Whether you serve them at a party, a picnic, or simply at home, they will bring a smile to the faces of your loved ones! Enjoy!
