Using a fork, prick inside base of pastry. Bake for about 6 minutes or until light golden. Remove from oven and prick with fork again if puffy. Set aside.

Cut peppers into 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide strips and toss with garlic, salt and pepper. Slice mozzarella into thin slices and pat dry.

 

Step 5

Start layering peppers, cheese and basil slightly overlapping each other inside edge of puff pastry to fill the space.
