Instructions

- Spread ketchup over another portion of the ready-made puff pastry on the baking tray.
- Mix the mortadella with the Kashkaval cheese, then distribute the mixture over the ready-made puff pastry on the baking tray.
- Over the ketchup-covered ready-made puff pastry on the baking tray, distribute the pizza filling of chopped olives, bell pepper, mortadella with Kashkaval cheese, and mushrooms, leaving a small gap around the edges so the filling does not escape during baking in the oven.
- Preheat the oven to 200 with top and bottom heat on for 15 minutes before placing the baking tray inside.
- Grease the small mold or metal lid used for shaping with a little butter before shaping the sweet portion of the ready-made puff pastry.
- Cut the ready-made puff pastry intended for the sweet filling into four sections on the work surface.
- Press the pieces of ready-made puff pastry into the small mold on the work surface until they take on a neat shape.
- Arrange all the filled pieces of ready-made puff pastry and the pieces intended for the sweet filling on the baking tray.

- Remove the ready-made puff pastry pieces from the oven once they are cooked on the bottom and top.
- After baking, fill the sweet pieces with ashta by making a hole in each piece on the serving plate.
- After filling the sweet pieces with ashta, garnish them on the serving plate with honey or sugar syrup, then Aleppo pistachios.
