MCPIZZA PUFF @HOME (COPYCAT RECIPE)

McPIZZA PUFF:

It is basically a savoury food prepared and stuffed with choice of veggies and pizza sauce

This homemade pizza Mcpuff recipe is very much inspired from the McDonald’s menu of the Indian outlet.

It is perhaps one of the popular, side snacks, on the Mcdonald’s Indian menu which has the combination of pizza and puff taste. Basically the stuffing is prepared with the veggies and pizza sauce later to be stuffed inside the puff pastry. Typically pizza puff is deep fried but can also be baked in oven till it becomes crisp.

I have always been a huge fan of pizza Mcpuff and I always make sure to order it whenever I enter Mcdonald‘s.

However in this COVID-19 crisis and extensive lockdowns in India I miss it very much . However I always wanted to give Mcpuff a shot . THUS, observing the McPuff 's filling i have developed this recipe which tastes and looks similar not same as the McPuff we get in India.

SOME TIPS ON REPLICATING THIS RECIPE AT HOME:

1. First, the dough has to be kneaded with cold water and it has to be smooth and tight. otherwise the puff may have bubbles while deep frying.
2. Second, the pizza sauce should be used generously to get delicious outcome.
3. Lastly, add mozzarella cheese only after the stuffing has completely cooled down. We do not want the cheese to melt down and form a soggy stuffing.
